Hotshot,

Those pics are from Dec. or Jan., and he has since been eating 50gram or so juvi-rats, and has been growing nicely, I would say he is about 40-48inches, I'm not quite sure. I do know that he is 583 grams as of 11 days ago, right before his last meal. He is almost impossible to take an overhead pic of, as he is always nervous, fast, strong, bitey, and musky, so I haven't done so since he was under 3 ft., which was at least 6 months back.

I like they way your blk rat looks. I am also glad that you post pics and info of him. Keep it up. I would be interested in hearing about possible breeding that you do in the future too. I am a novice keeper, having under 10 snakes at all times, and as of now I have the E.o. Lind, a carpet python, a pair of yearling russian rats, and a pair of yearling desert kings, so I really can't give you any usefull info on breeding or genetics, for about two years at least.

Later
Jon
