    Not growing?

    My albino eats every 3 days and sheds every 3 weeks. I started to wonder if he was growing at all though and held his last shed up to his one prior to that and they are the same length give or take like 1mm. I have two more king snakes that are similar in age to this one and they are both twice his size. He is definitely male so I don't understand why he isn't growing at all. He's only 11" long and is 8 months old...

    Shed skin stretches when its pulled off. You need to get a scale to monitor their gains by weight.

    Most use kitchen style scales. They are cheap on Amazon. Just make sure it measures within the weight of your snakes.
