Stephen,
...I have four of them here that were born in october and november 2007. One weighs 452 grams and the others are 485 to 512 grams. I try to have the females up to 1600 grams for breeding when they are 30 months old. If you are not planning to breed them or are not in a hurry then growing them slower is fine.

>>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?
