Van.........I hope you are not feeding these guys a mouse pink every 7-10 days. They are big enough to eat mouse fuzzies right from the get go. As long as your temps average the high 70's, don't be afraid to feed these guys. My experience is that frequency is the key. These guys have a slower metabolism than N. American pits. They can handle a reasonably sized meal, as long as they get the time and proper temps to digest it. My jani holdbacks from last year have grown to 43-46 inches in one year. I go with an 8 day feeding schedule. If anyone out there has grown their deppei or jani to better than 4 feet in one year, I'd like to hear about it. Most people are so afraid of their regurge reputation, they are afraid to increase the size of their meals as they grow. It's all about temps and frequency, IMHO. My little monsters love to eat!
