i was wondering if my retic is at a healthy size?

She is a mainland

she is 4ft 7in

eating small rats

she is 8 months old

she is still kinda slim because she is a baby.

i can tell she is getting thicker.

How often do you feed her?

When you say slim, what are you comparing it to?

For the larger species of snakes, retics are typically the thinner ones, especially when compared to say a Green Anaconda or Burmese Python.

she isnt as thick as a soda can, but she is close to that.

Jay mate how often do you feed her?. The reason I'm asking is we fed our girl every 7 days with a meal that left a visible lump in her, but not huge. And she was around 6ft at that age, if my memory serves me right :)

Was able to get a good measurement on her, she is 5ft 3inches.

Posting pics would be the best way to tell.

Sometimes they just grown at their own rate as well.

She has grown a lot though imo because when i first got her she was 2ft, and now she is 5ft.
