"How do I get my snake to get bigger quicker".
Steroids. I've got a BP that can bench 375.

What 375?! The biggest girl I have can only do 290!!! I guess I need to pump her up on the roids! Will her chest flatten out? Will she get hair on her face?

Unfortunately, one nasty side-effect for the females will be that those breasts will become pecs. Well worth it in my opinion for owning a ball that can bench 375....without arms....

I spent 12 years on steroids (for legit medical reasons) and I have to say they are not as bad as everyone claims. And Further More All That Crap About "Roid Rage" IT DOEsn't exIST! And if anyone tells you different let me know and I will go KICK THIER... SEE I AM PERFECTLY FINE AND CALM! LOL!

Nah, don't give your bp steriods, the next thing you know his ego will be so inflated that he will be picking fights with retics and anacondas... and no good can come from that!

As much as some people want their snakes to grow three feet in twelve months, even if it were possible, it would be seriously detrimental to said snakes health. If you want an adult snake buy an adult snake.

You feed him regularly about once a week. Do not feed him too much or it will damage his health. After you've got that down work on your patience, or buy a big snake. As far as sexing, depending on the size you need to have them popped or probed. I'm not going to explain what that is because I don't want you trying it and hurting the snake. Take it to a reptile professional and have them do it. Hope this helps. -Joe

they have to be warmer so I am thinking about finishing the second part of the incubation cycle of with a microwave...maybe take.... an afternoon nap and watch them hatch....

Food make them bigger...

Make them happy so they want to eat....

Hey NERD,

You do realize that there is someone out there that will be placing their eggs in the microwave because NERD recommended it? LOL! ...I wonder... if you radiate them would they come out kind of greenish? Now there is a new morph for you!
