Can anyone give me an approximation of Hogg growth rate? How long does it usually take for them to reach their full size? Also, about how old would a female 2'-2.5' and about half as thick as human wrist be? Thanks for your help.

I can't say for sure how old it would be. The growth depends on how much and how often you feed. Are you sure the boa is that girthy? It is unusual for a boa to be that thick and that short at the same time. Maybe it is longer than you think. We have an 02 male that is 3.5 ft, an 02 female that is close to five feet, and an 01 female that is close to six feet. All of our yearling BCI are close to three feet and about as fat as a kingsize snickers candy bar. Hope this helps.

Well lets see our little girls have been growing like little weeds, Eos is about 16 months old and just about 6 feet, and as thick as my computer mouse, Metis is about 12 months olds and is about as thick as.. wellllll almost as thick as my wrist.. They are both great GREAT eaters and go through about 2-3 medium rats every 7-10 days, with rapid bowel movements and they LOVE their food. But our Male who is about 11 months old is about 3.5 feet and about as thick as the top to a beer bottle... everyone will get that analogy. Anyways they are all great eaters and are just my trash cans for someone who wont eat. So i hope this helps but i know other people will have better stats for you.

Sincerely,

You're feeding them 2-3 medium rats every 7-10 days, and they're
not obese?

My female is around 5 feet and about 3 years old, she only
gets one large rat every 2-3 weeks. She seems kind of obese to
me. I'm afraid she may be over-weight. Are any of the Hogs
pictured in your post the females? They look great, nice and
trim...

Maybe mine's just a small Hog??

Thanks,
