Hi. I just picked up a new Dumerils today as a give away. I was told that they had her approx 3 - 3.5 years, but she is only 2.5 feet long. I know these guys are slow growers, but this seemed rather small to me for the age. They also said they were feeding her 4 live mice every 2 weeks. She appears healthy in every way, and while I have plenty of snake experience this is my first time owning a Dumerils, so I figured I would ask you guys as the experts here. Does this size seem normal for her age? Any suggestions on how often/much to feed her?

Thanks in advance for your help!
-Michelle
