I was just wondering because I hear people posting here that their burms will grow 6-18" a month, and I just haven't noticed nearly that kind of growth out of my burms.

I bought my normal burm in February when he (though I don't know what sex "he" is yet) was about 3'10". That's not an exact number but I do know he was just under 4 feet. Now 5 months later he is right around 5 feet.

My albino was just under 3 feet on the first of March, now he (and I know he is a male) is about 3'6".

I feed the normal two medium rats and the albino three mice every week, except the normal wont eat during shed cycles.

I don't mind having them grow slowly, I'm sure they will be huge soon enough - just curious since they are growing about 3" a month max.

Thanks for any input,
Ben
