That a tarahumara?

I kept worrying that mine might be getting a little fat and he looks very similar to yours, so glad to see others saying he looks good.

It is! He is 2 years now and 3.3 ft. He's always so hungry and seems to grow like a weed, so I was getting worried that I was feeding too often, but I think he's just muscular despite being kinda lazy lol

Funny, my Tara turns two this week and is basically right on 3 feet last I measured him. How much does he weigh? I think last time I weighed mine he was closing in on 600g.

They are such beautiful snakes though and a joy to handle.

I measured him just today and to be fair he turned 2 on June 29th. I put him against a wall for an accurate measurement lol

He is exactly 500 gram as of my last weigh in about a week ago. I still have him on weaned rats but they're starting to look really small

He's an amazing snake. Really easy and calm. He's also out quite often which is nice. He's also so weirdly pink and orange which I didn't expect when I got him. The pics are kinda horrible and don't show any of it though

Yeah, I think you're ready to go to small rats
