I measured Nimbus and forgot to post it.
He is 2ft long! I knew he looked long but was quite shocked when I actually measured him
Gonna get some digi scales next week and weigh him. |

It's really surprising isn't it, especially when they lay all coiled up and look so tiny! |

Wait until you see how fast they grow! Especially the little ones. Spot was almost growing an inch a week for the first few weeks I had him. Its slowed down a tiny bit now but his weight is still going up a good few grams every week. The main differences you can instantly see is the shape and size of the head, he's more pointy headed now and has grown into his eyes and he is getting thicker in the body and you can really feel the strength he's getting when you handle him. Its so exciting to think one day he could potentially be 5 foot long. |

Aww, I was surprised, when I held my first adult I didnt know it was an adult, and then I said so how big is this one, like 2ft? And the guy was like no way, more like 4! I was so shocked, they dont feel or look even close to as long as they actually are! Tiffany-x |

I use a very soft black shoelace to get a rough idea of length but its not easy to get an accurate measurement unless you take a picture from directly above and include a ruler in the picture for scale, then use it to accurately work out length. Easiest way to monitor growth is weight. |
