Got my male from Rick Sladick. He is a 03' about 17 months old and right at 5 foot long! I got him at 24" long when he was just over a month old. At the time he was the largest of the clutch and the only one to take mice right from the get-go! He grew very quickly and was 56" long at 12 month! He started eating medium rats a few month ago, but I keep his diet mixed with mice still. I feed him twice a week until late Nov. when I cut back to once a week. He decided to take a month off from eating and just recently began feeding again. He was never obese, but has a large cage, stays active during late morning hours and early evenings.

I saw his parents and have to guess his father was just over 6 foot and mother around 5 foot (at time of purchase in 03').
