ball python weight & shedding

[MarcsReptileShed]

my baby ball is about a month and a half old, i weighed him today and he weights 92 grams, is that good? Or bad? First Ball python that ive owned. i was watching a video on youtube and it was a 3 month old ball and he was way fatter and bigger than my boy. He also hasnt shed yet, and i dont see any cloudiness in the eyes or anything, just wondering on when hell start to shed? thanks hope to here from somebody soon!

A picture of your BP will help us to determine if his weight is ok or not.

As for shedding a young BP should shed every 4-6 weeks.

Based on your post I think you probably need to increase the amount of food your BP gets. What size/type of rodent are you feeding and how often?

ive been feeding him an alive medium hopper every week

It's probably time to move up to either weanlings or small adult mice.

What would i ask forr in the petstore idk how big is too big and idk how small is too small. i dont want to buy him somthing he wont eat because its too big, also if i move onto small adult mice would that mean that i can still feed him once a week?

He does look a little thin.

You can either feed hopper mice like you are now every 4 days or 1 small adult mouse every 7 days.

so how about shedding? i mean ive read online that they shed every4-6 weeks, ive had him for 7 weeks tomorrow and still nothing no cloudy eyes or going into blue his skin does look a little dull but still no other signs of shedding. ive had other snakes in the past when i was younger so i dont remember much about how their shed cycles were and they werent actuallly my pets they were my dads so i didnt pay much attention to them.
