1) What did you have him/her in when you took the first pic? In the second pic, she looks really small. I'd say about a year.
2) Please tell me you're a MAN, and took a shirtless pic (2nd pic) lol


The one I took of her in her feeding tank. And my husband was holding her.
I think the idea was to get the dimensions of the cage the snake was in...but it looks like the snake is a year or year and a half old...The old picture it looks like a hatchling...maybe a captive hatched animal.

it was a captive hatched and they are pics of the same snake only four months apart. Is that normal ball growth then?
as there isn't any way to realy compare the two pictures, as there's nothing in the newer picture to really compare its size too. Post a picture of you holding the snake just like the first picture. It will make it far easier to tell if he grow just a little, or alot for 4 months.
Also, what is your feeding schedule? Did you have a weight of your snake when you bought him and what he weighs now?
