Thanks! I'm definitely not trying to push him, and once he's on rats he should grow even better!

Re: Sanji
Sanji is slowly creeping up in weight. He took his second jumbo mouse yesterday after a recent shed, and weighed in at 233 grams the day before. It won't be long before he's on rats. I'm guessing probably once he reaches/exceeds 300 grams, as Nymeria is much girthier than he is at 285 grams, and I feel a weaned rat is still a tad too large for her.

I will!
I actually started a thread for Bean, so I could have one place where I can keep track of his progress.
I use a simple app called "snake keeper" so I have a place for feeding and growth info since we got him in January. But here, we can post pics, and get feedback

I use iHerp, the layout is a little easier for me to decipher, does about everything Snake Keeper does, but is opened in a browser rather than an app so might be a little more trouble for some. I've been using it for a little over 2 years now and like it. Those sorts of tools definitely make life easier! I remember when I was keeping everyone's records on Word...

Re: Sanji
Thanks for the info, I'll try Iherp and compare
I like the idea of it being in a browser so I can get to the info from any of my devices...

Re: Sanji
Sanji weighed in at 300 grams a few days ago. Still eating a jumbo mouse every other week, but I'm hoping he'll be on weaned rats soon.
Unfortunately I have no clue when I'm going to be able to update any of my threads with photos because I've had nonstop problems uploading photos to Photobucket, Tumblr, Flikr, and Facebook for over a week now.

Re: Sanji
Sanji looks good.
I am wondering about the substrate you are using. It looks like cedar or cypress. Why did you switch from the other stuff you were using. I think it was a moss of some kind. Is the moss suggested for the younger ones only?
Thanks

It's a mixture of cypress mulch and EcoEarth. Once I'm through with the bag I have, I plan on switching the cypress out for ReptiChip or something like that, because of the environmental impacts of using cypress. But it was a temporary thing because at the time I didn't have too much of a choice.
I kept Sanji on just sphagnum moss without any problems for like 1-1.5 years, but when I got Morzan and Homura I had nothing but problems with mold no matter what I did. Spraying, soaking, keeping it dry, didn't matter. I doubled the air holes and STILL could not get the mold to go away. Within a couple days everything would be carpeted in mold, and once Homura's tub was so bad I couldn't see anything through the cloud of spores. I didn't want to dehydrate them so I opted getting cypress in-town vs waiting a week with no humidity to order something online.
So I completely ditched the sphagnum moss and switched Homura and Morzan to cypress mulch, but by itself it wasn't maintaining humidity whatsoever so I mixed EcoEarth in. I wasn't using EcoEarth by itself because I also had problems with mold using EcoEarth in my belly heat set ups when I first got Sanji. So far the mixture been working out quite well.
I switched Sanji even though I wasn't having problems with him because it would be cheaper to give him the mix, too, rather than buying the moss. It takes two packs of moss to cover his tub, at $7 per pack, when I can spend $10 (used to be $7) on a 3-pack of EcoEarth and whatever it costs for the rest of the mixture and have enough bedding to do bedding changes in his tub every week for an entire year. Which, I don't need to change the bedding weekly anymore and I use the EcoEarth for most everyone else as well.
At $7 per pack, with the amount of moss it would take to cover his 4'x2' as an adult, I'd be spending $40-50 weekly doing bedding changes on sphagnum moss, when I could spend maybe $20 a couple times a year using EcoEarth, so he'd be taken off the moss regardless.
