This is a really old pic of her, back when she was about a year and half old, and much much smaller. She's easily twice this big, about 20 inches long now.
We had a really hard time getting her out of that. She thought it was a fantastic hiding spot. Great Halloween costume.
In case you haven't noticed, Tally's not as big as she should be for her age. She's 3 now and should be twice her size. (Nearly 3 feet instead of not even 2 feet)
It happens by spacing out her meals, therefore slowing her metabolism and slowing her growth. The reptile store owner told us about it, and we figured he was just trying to sell alligators, but its working so far. Someday we'd like a backyard and a pond for her, but since we're in an apartment right now, it's a bit of a necessity to keep her size low. Alligators do live 50+ years, so I'd like to keep her for as much of that as possible.
