    Curious about weight, length and age

    I bought my ball at the end of April 2011 at a reptile expo. I forget the breeders name but their setup looked legit and my snake looked active and healthy when I handled him so I took them for their word about feeding, history etc. They told me he was male and born in November 2010, so he should be almost a year next month. He weighs 600g and is about 30 inches, does that sound about right? I know these things vary and it doesn't really change anything since he eats perfectly and my husbandry is good. Just curious if maybe he was a bit skinny when I got him and is older than I was told? This is Mowgli hope the pic works...

    Upload the picture with photobucket or tinypic.com and copy and paste the IMG code.


    As for the weight, 600 grams for a 2010 doesn't sound bad at all. Hopefully your picture works.

    I have a few 2010s that are about that size, so it sounds fine.

    600 grams isn't overly small for a yearling male, it isn't large by any means but not too bad.
