Pastel Growth

moshirimon · 04-21-13, 08:13 PM

Just felt like sharing. She's an early 12 baby. Got her in august 2012 at a little over 2 feet. It's been 8 months and she's almost 5 foot. Not the fastest grower but steady. Colours have changed, but are still amazing as ever.

here she is when i brought her home

here she is now

Mark Taylor · 04-22-13, 09:13 AM

That's a nice boa mate.

Thanks!

And anywhere from 100-300 depending on the bloodline. Could be more

Gorgeous girl! How long do you expect her to max out to?

Five feet at one year is huge for a bci!

Gotta ask who the breeder was . Mac is and '08 but I do not know the breeder.
He is also a pastel bred in Ontario somewhere see any similarities?
well Mack is also also large and is 7' plus which is big for a male.

I'm expecting a minimum of 8 foot , but I'm really hoping she gets to 9.

I agree. I don't power feed either. Fed once every 10 days and now I'm feeding once every 14. I have to say I do offer pretty large meals though. I'm trying to find a good source to get baby rabbits. That should make her grow through the roof lol.

Wish I knew. I believe we talked about Mac and Kiara before. (Lion king name -- let the girlfriend officially name her lol). I have to say although they do look similar and could be from the same bloodline, I have never seen a pastel with as many bowtie saddles as Kiara. Its almost like her upper half is hypo and her bottom half is normal lol. Problem is the guy I got her from ducked and dodged me when I tried to get info until I just gave up after months and lost his number. All I could get is she was born January 2012, and she was a very red pastel.

Just measured her at 53-54 inches.

Took her outside today. Finally getting nice and hot out.
She just emptied herself out yesterday. Looked like a little kid wen't in her cage and did it.
Shes in one of her lighter phases right now, but very colourful.

And don't mind the hairy legs.

Mark Taylor · 05-03-13, 06:06 AM

She is a lot chunkier than mine what size pray do you feed her?

I may move mine up to medium rats for her next feed and change to every 10 days.

**lady_bug87** · 05-03-13, 06:19 AM

She's bigger than my 2011...

moshirimon · 05-03-13, 07:04 AM

Yea shes a big girl. Can't wait to see her at 8 foot especially with her colours.

And Mark , I feed her a large rat (on the bigger side of large, not quite XL) every 12 days. I know I said every 14 earlier but I decided I'd wait a little bit. What I'm really looking for is newborn rabbits. Fed her a live one once and she loved it. Once I find a good source to get those she should start growing even faster.
