Pro's weight gain thoughts.

[ExotixTowing]

OK I really have no way of knowing my normals age but thinking he is likely a 11. When I got him he went 2 weeks off the scale, when I weighed him he was 130 gram empty same as my July 11 lesser full.

Well I jumped them both up to a 4 day schedule, on the advise of TheSerpentMerchant. My normal is now 235 grams in 1 month he's gained 100 grams!!!

I haven't scaled my lesser as of yet. They both ate Thursday after going 6 days (I was on vacation)

Just looking for thought ls on the gain and opinions my normal is going in to bis second shed in a month

They are both on 25 gram ft rats I had to jump the lesser up he was getting mad on the smaller ones lol

Just got the lesser on the scale after getting tagged lmao he's 180 gr

As long as they are eating regularly, shedding, pooping and peeing, then the rate at which they gain is really not that important. Given that the factors I just listed are in balance, they will gain as much as they are able to gain. Some will gain fast, and others will gain a little more slowly.

My personal theory is that all baby ball pythons are genetically wired to be good eaters prior to reaching breeding size/age. This programed instinct gets them bigger quicker which accomplishes two things 1) Gets them off the bottom of the food chain quicker 2) Gets them to breeding size faster so they can pass on their genetic material to the next generation.

But, deversity being what it is, they will always grow and gain at their own pace.
