Haha! Skyler is moulting, as are a few others, hence the conspicuous absence of updated images of them

This one has almost tripled size in the almost 10 months that I've had it, but that might have something to do with it's food intake. The little oinker wolfs-back at least 3 large mice per meal. Between digesting and moulting I barely get any time to play with her, lol.

Re: Tagz update
Ok hearing that is encouraging.. I fed mine two little mice a week ago.. still had a bulge last monday and he ate another mouse... so I didnt want to attempt another, was a little gunshy that hed overfeed himself. Hes been eating consistently two mice per meal, albeilt small ones. Has definitely starting getting bigger though, next meal I should be able to up his food size a bit.
Im so bad with mouse sizes, I think hes eating hoppers now but cant remember if its hoppers or fuzzies :S

Re: Tagz update
Tagz is around the 3 foot mark now and has been eating full-grown mice since she was this big...
The first 3 or 4 meals were singles and that made her grow so quickly that the next 3 or 4 meals were doubles. That quickly snowballed into triples once she was big enough to hold them comfortably, etc.
I've never used a feeding schedule for any of my snakes (it too unnatural and it can induce bad habits) and I've always opted for larger meals with more time between them. That maximizes the social time I have with them between meals, as well as gets them feeding in a more natural way, but that's just me

Re: Tagz update
3 mice compared to a weanling shouldn't be too much of a jump. That's what my RTB is on and I think she may be the same size as Tagz
