Is a female who is close to six foot but not heavy but got good muscle tone ready for nov??? She eats a extra large rat a week. Should I increase her feedings??? I have two that I think are ready but I can't tell.

Probe her first, she sounds like a him. She eats an extra rats a week, you're killing her now, back off. If she isn't ready this fall she will be next year. Don't push the river. : )

Well your already feeding her double of what I feed my 6 ft females, so I would say to NOT increase her feeding. At 18 months I feed every 10 days, and the in the third year , I go to every two weeks. Males get fed every 2-3 weeks as adults. You sure its a female ?

Both are sexed females that get ONE large rat a week. I think I said a extra rat by mistake. I was thinking of giving them 2 rats instead of ones. There sexed female by there breeders and by me. One is a cancun/ suriname albino cross which seems I was told would be smaller. The other is my 05 ghost female. She puts on weigth but just not enough I feel to breed.
