Ben that really depends on the animal, as well as the amount of food offered and what is offered. you could have her around the 6 foot mark (if she is a good feeder) in 6-12 months easily. or if she is fussy like my girl was, it could take 12-24+ months to reach 6 feet. get her on to rats as soon as possible for best results. and increase the food size over time. I like to see a decent lump in my girl.

yeah, make sure she is well fed, and keep to it to a routine when you feed her.
My scrub I had him for around 2 months now and he has shed 2 times and grown maybe 6 inches and more.
And make sure you handle her as much as possible to be make her as placid as possible

yeah my fear of having 8ft+ of crazed scrub going for my neck every time i open his cage,

KEEP to routine nervous try to handle her at a specific time of day; cage cleaning and feeding, scrubs are pretty smart apparently and quite a few people have given me this advice
