: My radiated are just under 2 years old but already 5' in length. I have never seen a snake grow like these in my life. So I'm not sure what full grown is. But at 5' mine are still fairly slim for the length they have. They are about as big around as a ping-pong ball. So to me they stay rather slim. Maybe in a few years when there growth slows down some they will sart to put on weight. But for now it all goes to length.

Most of our Breeder Radiateds are 5-6' and feed on lg weanling to small adult rats although we have had radiateds produce at a much smaller size and at 14 months of age (just an experiment) but it did retard the animals growth and overall size.
