    Is my BP underweight?

    Hey guys,

    Ive had my BP for about 2 months now and I've been told its about 3-4 months old. Im just curious what a young BP should weigh. Im not sure if it is a boy or a girl but I will be getting it sexed this weekend. It currently weighs 130 grams. I am feeding it a hopper every 5 days.

    Thanks

    a picture would help out as well! 130 grams looks very different depending on the length of the snake!

    Just for reference my male pastel is about 4-5 months old and is like 200 grams. So that sounds about right. As long as he/she is eating regularly and doesn't look insanely skinny i wouldn't worry too much.

    Looks alright to me. Stick to a 5-day or 7-day schedule with an appropriate meal and you should be fine.
