Not sure if anyone will care but i find it fascinating because i never had pythons or boas that grown this fast....but..... my female is now 3 months old and is around 4' and just started eating 1 jumbo rat a week..shes already as big as my 1 year old bci.. crazy how fast thease guys grow.. i measure her every 3-4 days or so and i swear she gains an inch or 2 every time..She outgrown 2 cages already.. i have her in a 3x2x2 cage right now but at this rate shes im going to have to build her a new one soon! anyway.. thanks for reading, just wanted to share :)

Hope you looked up how big they get, females especially, before you bought her. Welcome to the world of Burms!:D That's the main reason I bought a male instead!

It's good to hear that someone did their homework before jumping in head 1st! Good luck and post some pics!

I love burms Fav snake in the world me and my dad have over 20 and let me tell you if you feed them right females can get 8+ feet in a year easy! but remeber don't power feed if anything feed a bit less because the more you feed the faster they grow and that means there bones grow faster and that can lead to some problems.
cheers
