In the last 2-3 weeks her appetite has gone way up. I dont know if its a growth spurt again or what. Normally she eats 1 adult quail a week (or a medium rat) and a few chicken peeps at most (or mice).
This week she has eaten several peeps, several mice (a few days ago), an adult quail (a few nights ago), and a medium guinea pig (just yesterday). In a matter of days she is thin, so Im guessing its another growth spurt.
Also my flaviargus is eating alot more than normal, but he started a few weeks prior. This week he has eaten 5 peeps, several mice, and a guinea pig.
My ackies ravenously ate 2 adult mice, I have to get some more crickets ASAP.

Have the temperatures in your area gone up now that it's summer? Maybe the animals are hotter and more active. Sobek is looking good.

He outweighs her by 12 or more lbs. Then again its been a while since she was weighed, hes growing so fast now, in fact he was 25lbs his last vet visit, about a month and a half later he was 45lbs.
She is a big girl, and a big appetite lately to go with it.

Consistantly in the basement, but with the central air on sometimes its hard to tell. If it is the temps Ill know for sure soon, I duct taped the outlets from the central air shut in the basement, just pulling cooler air from down there now to benefit the upstairs.
They have almost tripled their food intake (I dont think they done that before) recently.

Dang, she's impressive, SHvar! I've always thought she was.
How old is she now? Weight? Length?
Keep up the good work. 
Take care!

Measured her, shes not so easy to do either with now because of her size.
She was 6ft 6 inches and 33lbs the last time I checked.
