I believed, thats why my corn is about 9 months old and almost 3ft!(not fat, and not powerfeeding, she gets fed one rat every 7-9 days)

my male bp, holy crap, he was like maybe 2ft (I admit I wasn't taking proper care of him, thank god I found this site!) and in about 4 months he went from maybe 2 ft, to 3.5-4 ft, now he has to be about 4.5 ft!

isn't it amazing how they can grow and grow and we not even notice it. Then one day when we are holding that snake, we look at it, and feel it's weight, and we are like "woa, when did that happen!" lol

Beautiful snake!

No doubt. I was sitting in the recliner, and she had stretched herself from one arm to the other. That's when I kinda went "WHOA!" Now I'm in the market for a bigger enclosure. :D

I'm thinking about building the "Het for Human" brand melanine enclosure. Would a 42X20X18 (LxDXH) be good? I want her to have a little extra room, and I'd like her to be able to stretch out when she is full grown. Then again, I'll only know how big she is going to get when she IS fullgrown so....:rolleyes:

I'm almost thinking 48X 24X 18, just so I don't have to build her another one later on.....

PS. Thanks for the compliments!
