Just curious, but about how big are Northern Pines when they're babies? (length & girth) Suzy & I got to talking about it today.

Re: Northern Pine babies

It really depends on the incubation and the mother. They'll be larger if they are incubated naturally. I have seen 8 inch hatchlings and I have seen 13 inchers. Did you find one?

[kahaj]

Re: Northern Pine babies

Wow, I figured they'd be bigger than that @ birth since they get as big as they do.

No, didn't find one yet. I'm going to a herp show the first part of October. I hope to either find one there or hookup w/ someone who knows of one.

Re: Northern Pine babies

They grow quickly. Mine usually hit the 3.5 to 4 foot mark in the first year.

Re: Northern Pine babies

Wow, that is quick. Does their growth slow after that or will they be full grown by two?

Re: Northern Pine babies

The growth does slow a little, but they get to their max size in less than 3 years usually. They have to grow quickly because they are not constrictors. They over power their food prey.

Re: Northern Pine babies

Yeah, I knew that of them. I didn't think about that w/ their growth rate. Man, I can't wait to get one! ;D
