 How big

3 to 3.5 feet is average for captives. Some have attained a foot longer, but that is not as common. They can grow to adult size in 1-2 years if kept well and fed heavily.

food, proper heat and light, and the animal not living scared all the time. constant fear is an immunosurpressant. your exanthematicus should not look like a donut, though. so feed lots of bugs and watch the weight. you have to be sensible about it.
