Magenta's growth

[sweatshirt]

I thought I would make a thread where I can post every few weeks or so, an update on her growth. =) [Stealing the idea from Bigsnakegirl, she did it with her BCI Cloud xD)

A month ago:

Growing fast!

[Mikoh4792]

I don't see a difference!

[sweatshirt]

I don't see a difference!

Really? She's like 2 times thicker and a few inches longer =)

[Mikoh4792]

Really? She's like 2 times thicker and a few inches longer =)

Yeah she does look thicker. Pics can be deceiving lol. Few inches in a month? Got dayum!

[sweatshirt]

Yeah. She was 17-20 inches (never could get her to stay still xD) when I got her. =) She's 24 now. So in 1 1/2 months haha.

P.S. ignore the messy coffee maker... that thing is overused :P

[Concept9]

Very very nice, what does she weigh ?

[sweatshirt]

I don't have a gram scale yet. :( I wish I had one since I got her; but I can get one within the next few weeks :P

[ErikBush97]

Beautiful snake :)

[ErikBush97]

Btw, there's a tool online that lets you measure your snake. It's super easy to use :) I give you the link in a PM or something.

[sweatshirt]

Sort of update: Me and my dad just legitimately measured her with a tape and she's about 2'4 (hadn't measured her since her shed). She must be going through a major growth spurt :L

[Kid Boa]

Lovely little Boa. :)

[ravenwolf]

She is very pretty

[sweatshirt]

New pics! I couldn't get her to stay still, so sorry for the meh pics. I got her out without her hissing so woot!

Awesome little girl. :)

[guyabano]

It's like she wants to tell me something, but can't.

[sweatshirt]

Thanks MBK Boy!

What does that mean Guyabano?

I was staring at her cute little face for two minutes and that's just what came to me. :)

[sweatshirt]

Oh! Thanks! :D I thought you were going psychic :p

Might as well just make this Magenta's thread. I hate making new threads for every time I take new pics! Here's some from a few minutes ago:

I love how the fleshy tones come out in the natural light. That's a gorgeous animal you've got there. :)

Thanks! Me too. The indoor light makes her look brown, outside she looks smoky and beautiful!

[mmarchl23]

Very nice! How does she feel about the grass? The yard is my BCI's absolute favorite place.

(Side Note: You're on Imgur? Too sweet. I'm just a lurker but i waste sooo much time on that site.)

[sweatshirt]

She pretty much just sat there :D she did burrow her head under it though haha

Yeah, same, lurker. I do waste precious time on there, as well. :P

[marvelfreak]

She a beauty. I love the head shots.

[sweatshirt]

Thanks marvelfreak! I love get heads shots of her!

[sweatshirt]

Here's some feeding shots from a few minutes ago!

[Mikoh4792]

Give her to me

[sweatshirt]

You wish Mikoh. :)

Anyways, I've been feeding her 2 rats per feeding because someone suggested I move her to bigger ones. There's an expo on Sep 14th so I'll pick her up some then!

[sweatshirt]

Random pic time. I realize how chubby she's getting. :( Right now, since her crawlers/pups are getting small, I feed her 2 every 7-8 days til I can get weaned. Opinions?

http://i.imgur.com/aBWiZEw.jpg

[guyabano]

It shouldn't be an issue feeding a couple of small ones rather than one big. She's looking good! I love seeing healthy specimens.

[ErikBush97]

Is that Reptibark? :)

[marvelfreak]

Is that Reptibark? :)
That's what it looks like to me.

[ErikBush97]

Nice. I've just switched all my snakes to newspaper

[sweatshirt]

Thanks Guyabano! She's doing good too!

Erik, yeah. I wanted to get Cypress mulch but they didn't have it.

[sweatshirt]

She's going into shed for the 3rd time :D

http://i.imgur.com/yvJzcI3.jpg

[sweatshirt]

She delivered another full shed yesterday :D

She also ate her FIRST weaned rat today! Sorry for the bad pic, she was facing the other way. The rat does look big, but it was fluffy (I thaw in a baggy so it doesn't get soggy). She got it down in 8 minutes so I'm assuming there were no problems. :P

P.S. Switched to cypress mulch :D

[sharthun]

Growing like a weed! lol Nice shots!:cool:

[sweatshirt]

Thanks :D It's so fun to watch an animal grow!

[sweatshirt]

New growth pictures :D

[sharthun]

Nice shots! Brings back memories of my bci that I had years ago! :cool:

[sweatshirt]

Thanks! Boas are amazing ~

[Mikoh4792]

Damn she's getting big fast! My bci will probably take a year to grow that much.

[sweatshirt]

That she is, haha! I wish I had taken more comparison pictures of her when I first got her.

[ErikBush97]

Yeah she does look thicker. Pics can be deceiving lol. Few inches in a month? Got dayum!

I got my male on August 17th and he's grown 6-10 inches.

[ErikBush97]

Wow, Stacy... She's getting huge! :) Congrats! She's very pretty, too!

[sweatshirt]

Thanks :D I'll get some new pics of her soon ~

[Kid Boa]

Growing like a weed. :)

[sharthun]

For sure! Nice looking snake! ;)

[Kera]

she's gorgeous!! So jealous

[sweatshirt]

Thanks guys :D

I opened her enclosure to check the temperatures and stuff because my dad left all our windows open, and I saw THIS. This thing is the same size, if not bigger, than my CATS' poop. Is this normal?

http://i.imgur.com/UTG1Rhm.jpg

[ErikBush97]

That's normal. They like to let it build up before they release sometimes. :p

[Kid Boa]

LOL, wait till she is 9ft long. hehehe.

[dbassa]

Looks nice and well formed (ha ha)...totally normal:)

[ErikBush97]

LOL, wait till she is 9ft long. hehehe.

^^^ lol.... For sure!

[sweatshirt]

Haha thanks for the answers! xD I was just a lil concerned :P

[sharthun]

At least it wasn't moving! hehe:D

[thinkbig317]

HOLY CRAP (literally, haha)!!! Scared now to move my girl to weaned. Rat pups for life, lol!!!!

[marvelfreak]

My adult Bloods leave me piles the size of my moms Lab leaves.

[Joshchimera]

Nice Red-tailed boa!

[sweatshirt]

This post is late :D ~ New pics

She also delivered another shed, and turns 7 months old next week xD.

So a little over 2 months ago I went to the expo and bought 10 weaned rats and 10 small rats. Her last weaned rat is going to be fed to her on Thursday. She's definitely big enough for the small rats in the bag, but is it normal for a 7 month old to already be on smalls?

[Mikoh4792]

Wow in only 4 months? The difference in size is insane

[sharthun]

Lookin good!

[Kera]

shes so big!! wow:)

[Berserk Herps]

Very cool, I love the idea of progression photography. and definitely get a gram scale sometimes soon , its very interesting to see how weight fluctuates and accumulates as a result of feeding and time

[sweatshirt]

Thanks everyone! It's amazing how you don't realize they've grown until you look at side to side photos. Agreed Berserk Herps! And I do definitely need a gram scale.

[sweatshirt]

Wow, I haven't posted new pics of her in forever! Here's one I quickly snapped just a few minutes ago. I was going to take her out, but it looks like she's shedding so I'll wait until tomorrow. :)

Beautiful as always!

[sharthun]

Looking Great!!!! Sweatshirt!:)
