1.5 years of growth (pics)

[Bartman]

When I first got my little ball I wanted to take a log of pictures and keep records of weights and lengths. I have five pics, over the last year and a half id say (feb 22, 04 - sep 17, 04)

This was my first snake and its amazing on how much he's grown in my ownership. Im so proud of this big boy and im hoping to breed him with a female I recently got in about 7 or 8 months. Just because the girl needs to get bigger and gain a good amount of weight for breeding. I cant wait!

Here he is when I first got him..this was taken right after the feb 22 show of 2003.



This was taken on december 12, 03



This on beginning of june


and this by the end..he grew quite a bit between only a month



And this is my big guy TODAY!

Wow, he looks good and healthy. Congradulations on your sucess with him. I hope you continue to have good luck with him and his girlfriend. And good luck with breeding them next season. Is she a normal too, or a morph?

[Bartman]

nope just a normal, but my first bp breeding so it'll be exciting

Nice looking snake. He looks like he weighs about a 1000g or so, am I close? What are you feeding it?
Cheers,

small to med rats. Just because the smalls sometimes look like meds and some meds are too big lol. Hes skipped his last 3 meals now. Im afraid hes going to go into a large fast.

And I dont want to fall back to mice. Im going to try scenting..just last 3 times he ate rats by himself i did no scenting. Just heating it a lot. We'll see.

Not sure on weight as I dont have an accurate scale. I gotta check it out though.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
