    How fast do baby balls grow?

    So Ive had my baby ball '12 for about 3 weeks. He has ate twice, due again on sat. No shed yet, but I think he's close. He looks like he has put on some good weight. My scale should be here any day from amazon.

    I guess my question is, is two feedings enough for a young ball to put on some decent weight?

    While you won't get a good answer to 'how fast to they grow'

    The question you asked above has an easy answer. Absolutely.

    When some of my snakes were smaller I tracked their weight pretty often and calculated they were actually gaining up to 50% or more of the weight of the prey they ate. That's the kind of efficiency that keeps you surviving as a species for millions of years!
