I do not know of an actual chart, but I keep records of when my animals eat and what they eat, and how big they are after each shed. When I got my burm (male) on 10/29/03, he was 33". Last shed was on 2/4/04, and he was 64". That is growth of 31" in about 3.5 months. He eats every 5-7 days and eats prey items are are 1.5 times his girth. Usually he is only given 1 prey item per feeding, but I have given him 2 rats on 2 different occasions. When I got him, he was taking small rats, and now I am having trouble finding rats big enough. I am considering moving him up to rabbits, but I think they are too big, his girth is about that of a beer bottle. If anyone is reading this and has any thoughts about it, please feel free to reply or post a new topic. I do not want to get off this topic, I would be interested as well.
Thanks,
Jason
