depends on alot of things...your idea of well fed, if its male or female, and the individual snake.
If i had to guess i would say around 10 pounds...but thats just a guess

I will use my snakes for this example. Both are right around 2 1/2 years old. the male is about 9' and weighs about 30 pounds. The female is about 13' and is pushing a 100 pounds. This is off of a feeding schedule of one rat every week for the first year or so. Once the snakes hit the 6' mark I switched them to rabbits and fed them once every two weeks. Now two and a half years later this is what they are. They are perfectly healthy, and are far from fat. They are still growing. In fact they both went off feed about three months ago and the female has still shed twice since then. Todd

I would agree with the post above. My female, I fed every three days until she was about 6 ft then changed to once a week and when she reached eight feet went to Rabbits once a week for awhile and she was getting big to fast so I cut her down to once every other week. She was about 40 pounds at a year. She is now I would say 70 maybe even 80 at almost two years. But I fed her a lot when she was a little, like a book told me to. Hahahaha.

My yearling female is about 7.5 ft long, and 25 lbs. By 2 years I think she will be atleast 70 lbs, but I can't really tell at this time. So......
