Quick Size Question
So what is the average size for a female Burmese Python at 4 mo. of age? I have had her for about 5 weeks and she is in her first shed with me but her 5th lifetime shed, trying to get her onto fuzzy rats or juvie mice (a step up from rat crawlers). She usually eats 2-3 rat crawlers 2x/week. Currently she is 35", she was 22" when I got her, but I am reading people's posts about 6-8 foot burmese at six months. My question is, is my girl small/underfed? Do they grow a lot from the 4th-6th months? Is her size and growth rate normal for her species? I've read so many places that the females can mature at 18-24 feet and that they do a huge amount of their growing by 18 months, seems to me at this rate she won't be very large and I was hoping for a large one...
