: Kim,
: How long did the whole proccess take, a little over a week? Usually after all that they have a huge appetite! I was looking at your photos, I think he's past the 1 or 2 pinkie stage; I know you said you have a ton of pinks, so if you want to use them up before going to fuzzies, I'd give him 3 pinks (at least) at each feeding. I'm sure he can handle it. I only give pinks to hatchling beauties for their first couple of feedings then move to fuzzies. They love to eat and they have a digestive system that can handle it, too. When mine reach the 1 year mark, they're around 4 ft. By 2 yrs, they're over 6 ft. and breeding!!!

You know Mike I was thinking the same thing. At his last feeding right before he went into hiding I tried to give him 3. He would not eat them all. Today I put 2 in the cage with him & he ate just 1. He hasn't touched the other one. How often do you think he should be eating now?
Before his shed I was feeding him every 4 days. Before that every other day.
His shed took just over a week. How often do they usually shed?
How big around do they usually get full grown? I can't wait for him to get bigger.
Hugs
Kim
