Sarawak's and other P. breitensteini I would have to say get the same size. I do not believe my Sarawaks are done growing certainly not my largest female. And yet I have a male that is just as long, yet much leaner. That is not really saying much since both are at 5.5-5.75 feet in length and 24-26lbs.

I feed my STP's well, but still every 3 weeks or so. They are varied in diet from medium rats to medium rabbits (4lb). I prefer to offer varied prey items as it makes feeding easier and adds a bit of variety. I even fed large quail to them when I had a monitor that would eat them.

As I told a friend who inquired on STP's-Borneos are smaller, but certainly not a small snake. Also remember, even docile beasts have bad days and it is an impressive sight when you have a 25lb snake lunge at you. They can actually jump up with the force of their strikes. Fortunately, I don't have any that aggressive.
