It’s November, and that means it’s breeding season here at T&A! Bob is currently courting Jane, so we didn’t disturb him to get a weight for November!

It’s breeding season, so like Bob, Jane’s breeding. She’s busy being courted by Bob and so we didn’t bother her by weighing her for November.


Fat Girl

In October, Fat Girl flirted with 1500 grams, and came in at 1488 grams, which converts to 3 lbs 5 ounces. Unfortunately she had a bad shed, and was involved in the “snake room shuffle” and has only eaten one time since her last weighing, and that was prior to the bad shed and big move. For November, she didn’t lose much, but she is now down to 1438 grams, or 3 lbs 3 ounces.

In October, Little Man was beginning to be not so little! He was 1255 grams, or 2 lbs 12 ounces. He handled the snake room move decent enough, and ate a couple of times. Despite that, he still managed to drop a bit of weight, and only weighs 1214 grams, or 2 lbs 11 ounces, for November.

Mary as always is a hefty snake! She’s starting to gain some length so her girth doesn’t look as massive as it did before. In October, she weighed 2180 grams, or 4 lbs 13 ounces. She not only moved into the new snake room, but she upgraded housing as well. She’s now in the bigger 41 qt rack, a step below a cage! She’s taken the changes in stride, and hasn’t missed a meal either! The only thing she’s done differently lately is she’s been pooping more than normal for her. For November, she continued the weight gain, and came in at 2294 grams, or 5 lbs 1 ounce!

Medusa is a favorite here at T&A because of her docile personality! It also helps that she continuously grows, and looks more impressive by the month! For October, she weighed 3635 grams, or an even 8 lbs. Like Mary, she not only moved snake rooms, but she went from the 41 qt rack to a shiny new cage! She seems to be tolerating it well, as she hasn’t missed a meal yet! For November, she weighed 3868 grams, or 8 lbs 8 ounces!


Molly

Molly, or “tiny” as we’ve jokingly nicknamed her for now, is growing quickly too! She has started to cock her hide up a bit when she attempts to put her whole body inside! For October, Molly was 231 grams or 8.1 ounces! Such a tiny little thing comparatively speaking! She eats like a piggy, and for November weighs 272 grams or 9.6 ounces!

It wasn’t so long ago that we were calling Norma “Tiny”! She’s well on her way to being a subadult these days that’s for sure. For October, she weighed 1434 grams or 3 lbs 3 ounces. That’s a big change from when she first joined us as a baby! She continues to distance herself from that tiny beginning by weighing 1488 grams or 3 lbs 4 ounces for November!


Pablo

Pablo will always have a soft spot in our hearts since he was our 2nd ever boa, and probably one of our prettiest snakes! He’s also a growing boy! For October he weighed 2595 grams or 5 lbs 12 ounces! In November, he continues the upward trend, and weighs 2855 grams or 6 lbs 5 ounces!

PeeWee lives up to her name every month! For a girl her age, she’s on the smaller end of the normal range, that’s for sure! For October she weighed 2997 g, or 6 lbs 10 ounces. She changed her clothes in October, and for November she comes in at 3229 grams or 7 lbs 2 ounces! She’s still our “little” girl!

Stretch has really grown in the time she’s been with us. Hard to believe it’s almost been 1 year! She’s definitely a piggy when it comes to her food! For October she was 983 grams or 2 lbs 3 ounces. A decent weight, but it’s stretched out over a long body! We don’t call her “Stretch” for nothing! haha. She made a really good gain in November, and weighs 1265 grams, or 2 lbs 13 ounces!
