Help?! Please.

I think he’s about just over a foot long. And he’s been there for awhile I feel like

Mine guy as well he seems to be getting thicker, not by much and at the nose to tip of tail just kind of stopped at 3', maybe for 2 months now, vet says all good, just weird anyone with thoughts? Remy just got over that ignoring everyone, feisty stage. Maybe that had something to do with it? He is a little more than 8 months old.

I've heard they tend to grow in spurts, Also since this smoke got heavy I've noticed he's been in permanent hide mode or maybe he's just getting ready top hibernate.

That sounds about right

Ya I think mine have even sensed the weather change in arizona but it hasnt been cold during day still in 80s to 90s but the night weather some nights gets into 60s and even here has been smoggy from fires. All of mine grew like weeds since I got them at beginning of this year and are supposedly only going to be a year this month.. but were all in hibernation when I got them as it was still cold here. And idk if it's just because I fed them so good and often till 2 month or so started feeding every other day instead of daily. But they havent been eating as much. Mine are all like 3 feet to 3 and half.

Does anyone have any opinion on pulling them out when they're hiding at this time of the year? Mine has just kind of hid several days lately. I'm still pulling him out to feed him though and he's still eating

So I have read lots of different ideas on that. I will pull him out on occasion if say he was out earlier in the day and burrowed before I got home at 2 because he’s a lazy turd and refuses to wait anymore lol. But he hasn’t been seen at all in 5 days and so just today I was getting concerned so I messed around a little with his bedding just to see if I could get him to wiggle so I knew he was still alive lol. And he did so I felt better and left him alone. I figure he knows when he’s hungry and will come out when he is

Mine have just been lazy sleeping alot hahent started burrowing though yet and havent turned down a meal. I also bring them out during day so they can realize it's still very very warm outside here! Cuz they are in a room attached to my garage which is solid concrete building and has ac set to 84. Outside today was mid 90s
