i was wondering what everyone saw for grwth rates... i some how feel like my Saphira should be bigger than she is but if so its probably my fault. Saphira was born oct-07 as dave knows and i got her i think june-08 so about 8 months old... i know most people feed thier snakes every week, i ont the other hand feed every two weeks, so over ther first two months i had her i back her down to the two week feedings, im wondering if this is why she doesnt seem as big as i fell she should be...

she shed just last night(ill get pictures later today) and her shed measures 43" which sounds about right to me. and i know alot of you keep track of weight also so for the first time i used a little dial food scale and came up with about 155g how does that sound compaired to everyone elses 07s

now if it is im just not feeding enough what is best maybe stick with once a week for the first year and a half to two years then maybe slow it down or feed every week till full grown adult?
