I got my bp Kobi (female) on June 21st 07 and she was 18-20". I just measured her today, 1 1/2 months later, and she's 30"!!!!! 10" in 1 1/2 months??! And I'm not overfeeding her, she gets 1 mouse every week! Could she have just had a growth spert? She's not getting fat, just long!

Well, that's a foot a year, and that's what I've always heard; that makes it approx 1" of growth a month.....but this is 10" in a month and a half! Its unreal.
