This was 3 months ago some may have seen before but she still strikes the same.

Wow she sure is pretty. Are you thinking about breeding her?(when she's mature of course)

Thanks.

I wanted to but the way my other female is acting after giving birth I might not lol. But I do have a male around the same age and he has some awesome patterns and colours :)

Yes she has:)
She had a bit of a growth spurt not long after the video I now feed her medium rats every 14 days I hope she continues to grow and exceed the normal average size.

Ya never know; you could have an 8 footer.

If she's 5 feet she could definitely handle a large. My male hogg is 4 and taking mediums every 10-14 days with no issues.

Medium is right for her now I don't want her to get out of shape she poops every 15-20 days and seems to shed between 35-45 days all perfect sheds, I have noticed over the months she seems to like it on the cooler side for the most part but that's up to her.
Always a pleasure to handle all in all I think she is very health.:)

Thanks for the comments guys.

I managed to measure her today I did it 3 times with a piece of string all the measurements were 5'2", 5'3" and 5'3":cool:. @ just over a year old she just took her last medium rat. Large will be the next feed in 2-3 weeks, unfortunately since the move and them being in a new snake room she had her first bad shed:unhappy: but a 20 min soak in a tub with a heat mat underneath and she got it all off.;)
