When I got Ty she was 17 inches in length and now after 2 months of having her she is 25 inches to 26 inches that means she has grown 8 to 9 inches in 2 months so is this normal.

I am thinking that i didnt do a good shot of the first time measuring her or she is growing really fast. I feed her one mouse a week and her temps are 92 on the hot side and 82 on the cool side and 48 percent on the hot side and 60 percent on the cool side so temps are good. But I did the measuring with the program snakemeasurer taking a picture above the snake with a tape measure. So I dont know but 8 inches in two months is kinda quick.

Waited to see if anyone else would answer. Question: Are you complaining, worried, or bragging? Laughing

Growth is good, Smile they usually grow faster when they are younger and slow down as they mature.

My largest has grown 4 inches in a month when she was younger.

It was within that range too.... right around 2 feet

more worried then anything, cause I dont want to think i am powerfeeding her because I give her one mouse a week and now she is up to two though I am gonna be going a bit longer between feedings now that she is up to 2 like 10 days between feedings.

I would have to say that it's a good thing! Perritas didn
t grow very much when i first got her but now i'm feeding her a lot bigger mice and she's doing great! I'm trying to think of a way to measure her effectivley though just to see how big she's really gotten.

Mine all went through those incredible growth spurts, then they slowed down. After that, the defecations started getting bigger. Coincidence? I think not.
