NICE growth! Not bad for 3 1/2 months, eh? She sounds like a little porker. :p Thanks for sharing :)

Wow, that is quick growth. I betcha she will be a big girl for a hog! My 2002 female hog is only about 41 inches. How often/what size are you feeding now?

A Dr. I know has an F4 from wild caught parents that were averaged sized. He fedher a lot. He calls her the garbage disposal. He keeps mostly colubrids and whenever he has an animal refuse a meal it goes to her. She is over 7ft now and perfectly healthy!

I am only feeding her 1 hopper size rat (approx 60 grams) every 5 days, i know it doesnt seem like a huge meal for her but it leaves a very noticible lump in her belly.

I see... I think that is the perfect size meal. I feed mine the same size rat. I had been feeding her every seven days until I switched to small rats about a month ago. Now I feed her every ten days. That explains the difference in growth LOL!

[ChristinaM]

wow, that is sweet. She is a beauty.

[Amiechann]

Very nice hoggie!

[BoidKeeper]

Growing faster than mine. Mine is bigger but yours is growing faster. I feed the same size but every 7 days.
Very nice,

Thanx again everyone.

She is fastly becoming my favorite snake, shes just an awesome snake and a bit fiesty too...lol

I wont dare stick my hand in her cage to take her out, i must use a hook to get her out or she is striking and hissing and the whole works...heheh. But once i have her in my hand she is a real sweetheart.

So what you're saying is, she doesn't have an attitude problem, you just have a perception problem?

LOL

Nice growth! I was looking at some pics of the female BCI I got from the same show you got your hog from, and the growth is amazing. It's always great to take new photos every few months.

[Soul_Reaper]

Man she's growing super fast, nice snake!
