    Is this a healthy size

    Today my normal male Bp is 744 grams and 3 ft 1 in, at 8 months. He is on ft small rats, sound about right? Don't want him to get fat, I mean he looks healthy.

    Sounds about right to me. My male is eating small f/t rats that are between 60 and 75 grams each, so if that's the size yours are then they're fine. As long as the snake doesn't look thin (you don't see a sort of triangular shape on their body, they're nice and round) then he's good

    Your snake sounds very healthy. I have a soon to be nine month old male normal that weighs in at 946 grams and is about 3 feet long.
