In Reply to: a few new Taiwan beauty pics posted by Kestrel on February 11, 2003 at 23:25:15:
Nice pics Kestrel. Those girls are growing up to look very nice. Did you get them a boyfriend yet?
I have never heard anyone say to feed them small meals infrequently or they would get fat. Whoever said that must not have ever have actually kept any.
I have noticed that if I feed mine a meal as large around as their largest diameter as often as I feed the same comparable size meal for their size to my other sub species of beauties that my tiawans will gain weight quicker. If I dont vary the feeding frequency or meal size between my tiawans and my other sub species of beauties my tiawans WILL get fat. I think some people want to feed them the hugest rat they can find because of their reputation for adult size and eating habits which is just not necessary until they are true huge adults.

:Some random newer pics that I snapped a while ago... Hatched june/july '01, bigger girl is around 6.5-7ft... smaller 5.5-6..
:so here's a question. This seems to be a common debate.. Some people recommend feeding beauties small food items, not as often, because they get obese easily. Others say to feed large items, often, because of their fast metabolisms. Now in my experiance, my taiwans would drop weight quickly if on smaller food items, or larger ones less often. They seem to be a healthy weight and thickness, not too fat, not too thin, and I've been feeding mine 1 large/jumbo rat a week for quite a while. Before that was small/medium rats.. I can't imagine feeding these guys 1 or 2 mice.. They'd just get too thin.. anyhow, here's some pics..
