Does anyone know the growth rate of the Anataresia childreni? I am looking at obtaining a Children's Python within the next few weeks and I am prepared to have one, however I am not sure on the growth rate of the species.

I know some of the previous pythons I have kept grow to be insanely fast and require a change of enclosure size more often, while others take years to grow before moving into the next enclosure.

Mine started off in small (shoebox) sized conticos, then moved to medium, then onto large. The large size is ample for an adult in my opinion.

My two are about 18 months old, so probably about 6 months between boxes!
