Is he really that big for his age? lol
I feed him a large rat every week and a half- 2weeks.
Sometimes (maybe once a month) if he looks/acts hungry I'll toss him a small chick a week after the rat.
He has never skipped a meal in the 3 years I've had him
I guess it's not unheard of. But 7 feet is pretty big for 3 years old. Some jungles don't even get bigger than 5 feet(their whole lives) depending on genetics.

My oldest jungle is 3 years old and only 4.5 feet, but I feed her conservatively(a big meal once every 2-3 weeks).

Re: Checking in!

I would confirm sex. No stoppage in eating at sexual maturity plus being 7' at 3 yrs old says female to me. Both of my males were under 5' @ 3yrs old and didn't have near the girth or head size of yours.
Nice carpet !!

Not impossible it is male but unlikely. If your not breeding then it may not matter anyway.
