OK the beast, the Duke of Hazard has been out today to get weighed and measured. He isn't empty but I like to keep a peg on his progress. So length: 37.5 Inches, Weight: 767 Grams.

And here he is.




God I love this big fella.

I knew when I got him he was a big lad but he is getting very big. I love to feel how strong he is, it amazes me everytime I hold him.

Fingers cross Scar's fast wont be for too long.

July 2010. He was about 2 and a half feet when I got him. He a 100% rat fed monster, its the only reason I can think as to his quick growth. He has gained half a foot since February.

He has had a few misses but only while settling in and shedding.

I'm not making any predictions I just hope its about 5 foot or he'll not fit his custom viv.

I'm sure he'll be more than happy in a 3 foot by 2 foot viv even if he sneaks over the 5 foot mark. (I've a secret little party trick in my viv stack, the back can be moved back by an extra 6 inches into the ventilation section to make it 3 foot by 2.5 foot, clever huh).

He does make quick work of the rats, he took his first adult rat on Friday, was incredible.

He's only young, not counting the chickens just yet (cant Duke would eat them) maybe next season he'll be thinking lady snakes and not be quite so good, time will tell.
