| | Regular Member | Join Date: Apr-08 Gender: | | | thanks, he/she is a real little sweetie, to bad my fiance doesnt share my enthusiasm. 
just a question though, how big should he be for 3-4 months of age. he seems very small. |

Not very large at all, I remember when I got my stimson python she was a month old and about the length of a pencil, his size will all depend on how large his food is and how often he is fed.
Do you have him in a click clack at the moment? I would suggest when you put him into the enclosure to put newspaper folded or something between the gaps in the glass.

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Apr-08 Gender: | | | | he is only wbout 15-18cm, most of the others i have seen seem bigger than this, maybe it's just my imagination! he was in a click clack in his enclosure but he managed to escape, so now he is free in his enclosure (i figured if he let himself out he is ready). doesnt seem stressed at all and he is constantly exploring, the only problem i found was that he DID EASILY fit in between the glass so i have blocked that off.
thanks for the feedback guys! |

His size depends on how quickly he started feeding after he hatched, how big and how often his meals have been since then.
Spotteds are are very small snake and he is only 3 to 4 months old as you said. I wouldnt be to worried, he will grow in time.
Jasper is a looker  .
