32 lbs, 6ft 5 inches. She is 33-3/4 inches STV and 43-1/4 inches tail length. I soaked her for the first time in months to get some dirt off of her, well, didnt work too well, she dried up and is still dirty, lol.

That's one big lizard. How about a pic of her being held?

Would you mind listing what Sobek eats in a typical week? Curious. A chicken a day? LOL

Quail every week to 2 weeks or sometimes a rat, a quail, and a few chicken peeps. She decides when shes full usually, or I adjust if its necessary.
When she was in her first year she ate alot!!
At 3ft long she ate 6-9 adult mice or up to 6 day old peeps a day, after 1 year of age and 5ft she slowed alot in intake.
