How are "my" snakes doing guys?

[ConcinusMan]

Snap and Ember are eating and growing machines!

And don't I know it! I try to tell people, when they are new to concinnus', what they are like, when it comes to growth and feeding but people are still taken aback by their enormous and seemingly never ending rapid growth and appetite. I mean, people don't expect a 7 inch snake to be 3 X that size in 6 months, but it happens, and they're like "wow!"

Much of it has to do with the genetics of the snakes I have sent out. There is a lot of natural pressure on them to get big fast in order to take them off the menu of predatory birds and also so they can start eating larger prey for themselves. There's not a lot of pressure on them to stay small either since there's plenty of cover where they came from. A 3ft + snake can still evade detection from the air/birds of prey, etc., pretty well.
