I think most of the people on here remember me but if not about a year ago I rescued a RTB from a guy at my church. He had her for 4 years and she was only 2 feet. After he told me she was being fed 1 mouse a month I knew why she was so small. She is now almost 5ft and getting 1 large rat every two weeks. Should I cut back more now or keep her at every 2 weeks until she is 6 feet?

my male is about 5’ and he gets the same as yours and he is doing great. I would say keep up with your feeding schedule the way you have it.

I’d stay with what you are doing till she gets larger. Good job on the successful rescue!

Thanks everyone, I wanted to check again to make sure. I assume she is about 5-7 yrs old the guy had her for 4 yrs and i have had her for 1. Anyways I will get some new pics of her up next time she feeds.

I think you are doing great as is. If it were me, when she gets to the point where she needs a larger meal, then perhaps space it out a little more. But for now, you’re doing great. Keep up the good work.
