Well,"Sweetpea" broke the 5' mark at almost 17 months old.She had a complete shed just two weeks ago and now she is going through another complete shed already!She has grown 4" in the past 6-8 weeks.Not bad considering they usually do most of their growing the first yearShe has been eating rats 98% of her diet with some frog legs and turkey diet thrown in the other 2% of the time.She gets plenty of exercise and just loves those EVIL little rats

Youre going to traumatize poor Sweetpea with that disturbing thing. We're tying to promote rodents here!!! Youre not trying to convince her to vary her diet, are you?!
