Hey all, long time no speak! (where the hell is BATS these days anyway?)
Anyway, I have a dumb question that I'd rather ask on here, than get shot down for asking on RFUK :D
So I bought Monty in December 2011, she weighed a little over 300grams but was pretty skinny really, and was a little under 3 foot in length. This has got me thinking - how old is she?? I've always assumed CB11 hatchling, but now I'm not so sure. CB10 perhaps? I don't know too much about growth rates.
Opinions appreciated as always! |

I have a female cat called Pawl too - my animals must have some serious issues! |

No wonder, you keep calling her a boys name. |

She was pretty skinny when I bought her, but was quite long, just under three feet I'd guess. She is a champion eater for me and has never skipped (yet) and is a nice chunky size now which is nice to see - not squidgy fat, she's kinda like a 50p shape... sort of.
I'm starting to think she may be a 2010 baby, not 2011. Its difficult to tell though isnt it! |

If there has been no stall in feeding and it has fed regularly then she could be anywhere between 1 and 3 years old, lol. Duke is a mid 2010 and is a bit heavier than your girl but not a lot. I would think 2010 would be a safe bet to do your calculations from. |

Well they guy working in the pet shop didn't seem to know, I think he said "about a year or so looking at his size". He turned out to be a she.
It is hard to tell - I see people selling CB10's that are smaller than Monty was when I bought her occasionally!
What do they weigh when they hatch? 20-30 grams? So if, for example, she hatched around this time 1 year ago, that means she put on around 300grams in 5-6 months. Feasible? She weighs in at 1100grams now. |

When did they say she was born? and how much does she weigh now?Could be late 2010 or early 2011.
It's really hard to tell,as different factors play a roll to. |
