First up the Maryland pair measures in at:

This years Albino trio, we'll all keep our fingers crossed.
Alb-01m 666 51.9
Het-01f 838 50.3
PHet-01f 366 39.9

Some of the young I purchased last year:
The peanutbutter male from Rainer
PB-01m 164 29.8
And the Georgia peaches from Will:
GA-01f 84 22.5
GA-02m 50 22.7

GA-04 is a month younger than PB-01. I'll keep tracking and give a monthly account.

Looks all is looking great for you this year Bob. Glad to see that MD female is around 40" ! Also I noticed that
GA-04m is 29" long already ! Wow looks like he is gonna be like his half brother that I own. I just measured him out tonight at 47.03". Please post a pic of that 29" male.

I had been focusing alot of my attention on the peanut butter so I didn't realize how long GA-04 was getting. I take weight measurements twice a week so my perspective has been skewed to weight vs. length.
GA-04 numbers for the past month or so Date--weight--length--food---weight of food.

1/18/05----38-- ------2p---6
1/23/05----38-- ------3p---10
1/26/05----46-- ------2f---12
1/30/05----50--20.8---3f---16
2/2/05-----58-- ------3f---18
2/6/05-----66
2/16/05----68-- ------3f---18
2/20/05----80--29.9---3f---14

And the numbers for GA-01

1/18/05---40--- ------2p---6
1/23/05---40--- ------3p---10
1/26/05---56--- ------2f---12
1/30/05---60---20-----1f---8
2/2/05----66--- ------1f---6
2/6/05----62---
2/16/05---68----------3f---18
2/20/05---84---22.5---3f---18

The data set is hopefully going to shed some light on exactly how much food these snakes need vs. what we think they need for optimal growth. The food shown above is what was actually eaten. These two had the same amount of food offered. I'm surprised at the difference in quantity consumed over the last few weeks.

The picture is a little weak, I still haven't quite figured out my new cannon A95.

He gets a bigger bin tomorrow.
