Man, I do love the normal morph. This is my late 2002 Okeetee. Look how big she is..

That snake is under a year old!?
That's huge!
Do you feed it protein shakes with the mice?

LOL, yes she is a fast grower. She eats as often as all other corns but she just does seem to grow faster.

That is one beautiful snake! Seriously, what do you feed it...I am curious too...LOL! My friend and I both have 02 snakes from the same dealer...we both feed them once a week...his corn is much bigger (about the size of the normal in the pic). The reasons for this, I guess, are most likely genetics and/OR the quality of mice (from different sources). He gets his mice from a local petstore and I get mine in bulk at reptile shows.

Has anyone seen any relationship between switching their mice supplier and growth spurts in their animals after the switch occurs?

I buy my mice on ice. So I don;t know what the mice where feeding on. Here in Holland you can buy the expensive mice food that is made for snake owners. When I bred my onw mice I noticed the females drop huge litters up to 15 - 18 babies. They grew incredible fast. Way faster then when I used the normal mice food.
