Hey folks, just curious about the age at which you would expect a royal to be fully grown? How fast do they grow?

technically they never stop growing (or so I am led to believe, just really really small amounts), but I would say most 3-4yr old Royals are about where they will stay

obviously a poor feeder will take longer to reach adult size/weight.

i have a Dumerils boa that, in theory, should be fully grown. in reality, due to his very poor feeding habits with a previous owner he's still years off being my female Dum's boyfriend!
