Racer growth rate

[whistlepig]

I tend to be data driven and so this post is more about having something out there to reference for anyone looking for it than anything else. I found information about racers to be very sparse and what is out there tends to be repeated from only a few different sources. A quick search on here I didn't see anything on racer growth, but feel free to correct me if I'm repeating something. I also understand that growth has several other factors that affect it besides species. Anyway, just wanted to throw out what I've found so far. For reference I believe I have a Blue Racer (potentially a southern black, but I've only ever seen blues as adults around here), that I found in August. I feed him roughly 1 pinky twice a week. Initially they were small pinkies, but have recently upped it to larger pinkies. All lengths are SVL.
