Once they get big enough for rat pups they grow like weeds. Also if you are feeding mice pinkies I would switch to rats ASAP. Even if a rat pink looks a little big he will be ok. He looks great. They grow fast. Ours put on about 16"/yr. Ours is female but still. Enjoy!!

How old should the snake be before its ok to get it probed? I don't wanna stress it at all so no hurry, it's health is my only concern! Still don't know male or female for sure but my kiddos are stuck with the name Oscar lol!!

I think any age is OK for sexing. The breeder of my old corn sexed /her/ at under 1 month of age, because that's when I got her and she was a positive female.

It would be a great start to get a friendship going with the vet there may be times you have to call in an emergency
