Update on Titan and some pics/feeding:)

Ok for those who dont remember I got titan back in may...he had serious feeding issues as in no eating at all for a whole 2 months! well ever since I moved him into his own room and set up his tank better and more temperature controlled hes been pounding them down fast! so he is not just shy of 5' and about 700 grams hes tamed down alot now hes like a puppy no more defensive striking or anything and hes shedding like clcokwork...he is currenlty eating a small rat weekly but after this meal he is going to medium rats once every 10 days for now which are about 150 grams each so that weigh he gets approx. 1/3 opf his body weight every 2 weeks.....I like to stick to this feeding schedule if anyone else would like to use it here it goes....

From hatchling until the time he eats large rats = 1/3 body weight every 2 weeks

from large rats until rabbits= 1/4 every 2 weeks

from rabbits until about a year and a half old = 1/5 every 2 weeks

once they are 1.5 years i move it to 1/7 of weight every 2 weeks

finally once they reach 2 or 2.5 years depending on growth= 1/10 of their weight every 2 weeks

note this is only for males as I have never owned a female and obviously females should be fed more...but since primarly at 2 years male retics are practically full grown length wise I was told its wise to give them 10% every 2 weeks and this time to keep them healthy...any suggestions would be great...anyway I hope you like him
