Hello everyone!

I have a 5 mo old red tail boa. I purchased her from some people who breed. She seems to be doing great-my question is how fast should she be growing? Shes very hungry (is now up to 2 small live mice a week) but doesn't seem to grow much-shes not obese, she sheds regularily and completely (and my pet store examined her for me and told me she is one of the healthest snakes they had seen!) she is only around 2 ft long-I was just curious as to their growth rate (she is my 1st red tail-I used to have ball python swhich are totally different) Can anyone help me out? Thanks!
