Awesome, how much does he eat?

Pretty big boy! He must eat like a pig.

Very nice! :)

How do you guys normaly measure your snakes? I weighed Xander yesterday, but I haven't figured out how to measure him yet -- at least not without getting someone to hold him straight for me -- LOL :)

I think he's a typical Ball as far as feeding habits go. He usually goes every two weeks but the last time he ate two medium rats five days apart. I couldn't believe how hungry he was because he's usually pretty reluctant.

I use the Snake Measurer program to measure my snakes. I can't remember where I got it but I can email it to you if you like. Another good way is to have them slither along an open length of wall.

Thanks Corr, that would be great :) I think I remember hearing about that somewhere... You give the program a pic of the snake, and it tells you how long it is? Or something along those lines...

I just sent the program. It's really easy to use. Just take a pic of your snake from above and include a reference point (I use the kitchen floor tiles). Set the reference point by clicking at the beginning and at the end, then enter the measurement. Finally, click along the snakes spine until you get to the other end and presto. :)

Let me know if you have any problems.

Can you send me the program, I would like to give it a try, thanks.
