I had been guesstimating on her size the past few months due to her ill temper..well I pulled her out today (not a single strike which was a pleasent surprise) then she stayed calm enough I was able to measure her.....and when I was done I checked again...and then again..not believing how large she was each time... I had guesstimated she was around 36-38" but nope..she measured just under 43" not too bad considering she is around 22 months old and when I received her last spring she measured right around 2'

Still looking good! ;D

I have noticed that hypos seem to be real hearty boas, and grow fast on sometimes what I would consider a meager diet.

I do not have enough experience with them to know if this has any merit of thought whatsoever..... but I was wondering what some other opinions out there might be.

Randy.... She is going to be a killer adult..... :'(

I would have to agree with you there Jesse, they are very hearty boas. I have had some that are fast growing also, I had one that reached 4+ feet in just over a year, and I had truly fed it very conservitively.

I hope she continues to grow at the quick rate, I am hoping she hits near the 6' mark by her third birthday, since she has been promised to her mate already..lol.
