Yeah, I was a little set back with her fasting but since she has started back up again she eats like a champ. I expect her to be a big girl but probably more so in thickness rather than length.

I'm expecting my new scale to come in this week so I can give her a proper weight measurement as well!
I love watching them grow! How old is yours?
I wouldn't say that they are that slow of growers at all. The biggest female I've seen was over 3,000 grams and around 6 feet, and I believe she was 5 years old. I wouldn't expect that from a male BP, but it's definitely possible with a female! I think it all depends on how often they feed and if it's a regular thing, but because BP's are known for their fasting (especially in breeding season) they slow down. Too many variables I tell ya!
