Retic keeper..answer please

Ok so I have the burm and as youve seen in the post I just got the retic. My question is if I feed her on a schedule of every 5-7 days as a baby, an appropriate sized meal, what do you expect her growth rate to be and about what points will she hit rabbits?

thanks

Hard to say, depends on the size of the feeders and the snake's genetics. I would expect her to grow at least an inch a week, possibly 2-3. One of my burms has put on 3.5 feet in exactly 4 months, and now that she is just over 6 ft I am switching her to rabbits. I would probably switch a retic over once feeding XL/XXL rats don't seem to be leaving much of a bulge anymore.

I would switch it onto rabbits ASAP. I've had retics that would just not switch to rabbits no matter what techniques I tried so I've already switched my newest girl to rabbit pinks just so I don't have to worry about it later. She's only a month old also. Tiny.
