Just wondering how much your "big boy" eats now?My little girl "Sweetpea"54" only eats 3-4 days a week now and then it's only 1 rat or 2 pairs of frog legs(she hates chicks),but will eat them when not fed for 2 days.Much cheaper to feed now then when she was little and eating daily crickets and pinkies.Just curious.Thanks.

Actually I figured out Sobek is for sure a female. She was eating a week old chicken peep or two a week they are 5-8 ounces each, and a mouse or two once a week, sometimes less. She swelled up with eggs a little over a week and a half ago then since reabsorbed them. Shes only eaten one jumbo mouse since this but Im letting her eat when shes ready. The cage will have alot more dirt very soon. Shes been 66 inches now for 3.5 months and 18lbs 4 ounces to 20 lbs. I hope Shadow can grow fast because hes gotten very strong and doubled in weight already.
