What do you think of her? I would like to know. She is still a baby at 30" and 450g.

I like her, and I appreciate your posting lengths and weights. I'm still obsessed with knowing whether my girl is "on the right curve" with those things.

Thanks,

Bill

It's not how many snakes you have. It's how happy and healthy you can keep them.

Thanks, I'll look for the e-mail. I've generally found that for images with just a few colors, a GIF format is better than a JPEG. In any case, I really like having the comparison chart. Eventually, I'm going to work my chart into a length versus weight chart.

Thanks,

Bill

"snakes are kind of like potato chips, you cant have just one"

Havic -- I got her Nov 12 @ the SATX reptile expo. I was told she was two months old then. So hatched sometime in August. I first weighed her 12/02/05 @ 194g. She seemed to grow slowly at first, but now shes growing like a weed. She won't touch a rat...strictly a mouse eater. She has not been power fed either...once a week.

Thats great that she is an awsome eater for you. The one that I have at 350 grams wheighed in at 190 in december when we got him. He is also a great eater I just weighed him after he pooped at 404 grams so it seams like he is on a growth spurt right now.
I realy think I want to make a graph so I can see how much of a growth spurt.

I wish my little girl were growing better. She seems to be slower than everyone else's. If she's just slow, that's okay. I'm just worried that I'm doing something wrong. When she finishes this shed, I'm going to try feeding her a little harder.

Bill you said you are feeding rats now right? well I think after a month or 4 feedings she will start to come up on the weight right? or at least thats what I have learned so far. The 134 gram female that we just picked up has not feed yet. She is settling in right now. We did give her the option the first night but to no avail so she waits tell friday

Yes, the pet store in the area with the best reputation for herps is now selling fuzzy rats that I can freeze. My girl took a 20 gram rat ten days ago but is currently refusing because she's in shed. When she finishes, I'm hoping that she'll pound the rats.
