I bought him in December last year and he was only about 4.5 ft, now he's over 6 |

But no yours looks very healthy and I'd keep doing what you've been doing very gorgous by the way. |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Sep-06 Location: NT Darwin Age/Gender: 24 | | | | how old is he? he will not be mature anouph to do anything till he is atleast 2.5 - 3 years old no mater how quick you try make him grow the faster he grows the more problems he will form before he is old anouph and I just think that is a hudge waist of an exspencive snake. Mine are about 17months and they are tinny compaired to a mates that are the same age its very amazing, I am now feeding my 2, 1 medium and 1 hopper rat a fortnight each.

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: May-07 Location: NC...USA Age/Gender: 22 | | | | beautiful BHP. I really wish that I could find one over here under 5K for a little one. I came across a full grown 8ft male at a local shop, they had him for 1900. Seemed steep to me because no one knew his age, and I didn't want to pay 2K for something that could be 10+ years. Thats definitely on my list of "to get snakes" when my Woma's produce their first batch. | | |
