Yeah I cant believe how fast he grows looks to be about an inch a month. He will be 1 year old at the end of August.

Seven inches in 3 months, or more than 2 inches/month. Do you expect that growth rate to persist, or will it vary over the course of a year? In other words, do you think this is a "growth spurt" associated with the arrival of the warm season?

Awesome snake! (Like all of yours are)

WOW I guess I looked at the dates wrong lol. Maybe the weather has somehting to with it but he is on a rack so he was kept at a constant temp. He is a monster though and a tad over hungry as he always starts chewing on me when I hold him.

I wasnt expecting much growth from him as I skipped a couple of feeding moving the snakes to the room etc... What a hassle that was. Your guy is looking as good as ever ! How are those Columbia Co. eggs doing ?
