I have a gorgeous normal. Her 1st Bday is this Saturday!!! I got her 2 days after after she hattched. She currently weighs 1361 grams and is about 3 feet in length. My question is is this normal cuz it seems kind of quick to me? She isnt even a year old yet!!! She is a varacious feeder and gets feed once a week. I only increase the size of the rodent when I cant see a bulge after she eats. Nothing drastic just up to the next size. She is currently on F/T med rats. NEVER has turned down a meal or regurged. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

You sound pretty lucky to me!! This weight can be achieved eating every week. You may want to increase time to every 10 days or so unless you plan on breeding her.

Thanx for the feedback! I actually do plan on breeding in the next year. My early Xmas was a male pastel so I'm hoping to supply my local "Independent Reptile Specialist Pet Store" (Animal Trax is the name) with some new BP's and make a little $ on the side. They have a female pastel he is willing to litteraly give me (its kind of the store "mascot"
for breeding to hopefully get some super pastels so we'll see what happens. I just wanted to make sure she wasn't getting to "hefty" too quickly.
