Mine's around a year old and in the 20 inch range. He's grown a ton since coming out of a 7 month hibernation earlier this month. But I got him in September I think and fed him less than I should have at the time, so he missed out on some growth for a few months. He was probably 15 inches and still had green when he came out of hibernation. Now he's getting his white head and putting on a ton of weight.

My male Arg. b+w is 38 inches and ten months old. He did hibernate for at least 5 1/2 months. And he eats daily. Small rats, chicken parts, lean beef, ground turkey, whatever fruits and veggies i can trick him into eating and eggs eggs eggs.

Mine will eat anything as long as it's covered in raw egg. As we speak he is eating brisket, carrots, boiled egg, calcium powder, reptivite, all mixed up with a raw egg in it. He LOVES EGGS.
