Apollo's gonna be ready for rat fuzzys soon. He devoured 2 rat pinks in about 3 minutes and it barely left a bulge. He's been much better with handling too. He's starting to grow on me :).

I'm gonna have to do better than these cell phone pics. The hard part is getting the critters to stay still for a minute :)

Apollo's up to 100g and taking rat fuzzys now. Sorry for the poor quality cell pics.

Pretty bull. They start out pretty big, huh?

They're a little larger than my kings and seem to grow a bit faster too. Apollo was hatched on 7/11. He was 42g when I got him on 8/14 and he was exactly 100g before his feeding yesterday. My albino bull just turned one in September and she's over 900g. My Cal King is two years old and 420g, and my MBK is 18 months and 500g.

900 grams is crazy.

Yeah, she's growing fast. She's closing in on 4 ft.

I guess one strategy for survival is to make fewer but bigger babies that grow really fast.

Apollo is one fine looking young snake! :cool: He will be courting She Ra, the she-beast before you know it!

Wow, that's a super fast growth rate! How long do they usually live for?

From what I've read they'll live 15-20 years in captivity. I'm hoping mine live long healthy lives. The yearling albino gets fed 2-3 rat weaners every 7 days on average. They weigh 35-45 grams each. I'll put her on small rats soon. The snow gets fed 2-3 rat pinks, or a rat fuzzy, every 5-7 days. The pinks weigh 5-9 grams and the fuzzys weigh about 10-19 grams each.

I personally like the normal pattern on a Bull snake, hey your snake camouflaged well with its aspen bedding.

I like the normals too but the albinos, ivories, and snows are my favorite ;)

Thanks Steve, he's growing on me :). He's getting lighter with each shed. I'm really looking forward to watching him grow.
