My male '02 black milk is about 50" now, but I've only had him since 10/24/04. He was 44.4" when I got him. (Looking at his feeding records prior to 10/04, it looks like he was a little underfed). He has no white showing, except right after a meal. His current weight is 809 grams. I would think that the expanded scales (after a meal is digested) would be an indicator that they are getting a little "fat". I think you would notice it more when they are coiled, so if you can see the white when they are uncoiled, I would surely slow down the feeding a little bit.
btw, what are they eating and what's the frequency? Also, how often are they shedding? ----- 1.0 Malagasy Giant Hognose
