 My goodness they grow fast...

It’s been a year that I got Panda as a skinny, thirsty little baby. She was the cutest little thing that I got at the pet store for half off because they didn’t know how to care for her. The best $100 I’ve spent! =-)
Here she was when I got her:



About 2 months later, after she’d done a fair amount of growing:


And here she is tonight! (the tub she’s in isn’t her cage)

Good looking snake! What is her current length and the length when you got her?

Thanks! When she was a baby she was just about 25" long. Now she’s 55"!

Wow, that’s alot of growing! What’s your feeding schedule like? Consistent since you got her?

For a few months after I got her, she’d eat every 5 days, one appropriately sized prey. Then she went to one appropriately sized prey once a week, and ahs been on that schedule since.

Actually she eats multiple mice now instead of a small rat.
Also, I am guessing she wasn’t fed as much as she was supposed to, with the month at the pet shop and before that she was a pet store drop off from someone who didn’t want her, so she had some catching up to do. I am not sure how old she is though.

You should be moving that ugly snake up to small rats now.

Trust me!
