True length of "record" giant pythons.

My female tics get a meal that is 130% their girth or smaller every 2 weeks, the boys get the same every 4 weeks.
Females are also my garbage cans who eat any refused food.

That sounds like a good feeding schedule to me. Why do you feed your males so much further apart?

I agree, that makes sense. I was just talking about a lot of peoples idea of ideal. I just think its too much. I've seen retics that look thicker than burms (in proportion) and i just think theyre meant to be a somewhat more slender snake.
