    Red face New Member! How big are baby balls?

    Hey, I'm Aly, new here

    I just got a female caramel albino ball a couple weeks ago. She's adorable, her colours are amazing, and I'm starting to think she's pretty big (which is awesome)

    At just over 5 months old she's almost exactly 2 feet long and last time I weighed her which was about 4 days ago, a couple days after she defecated and about 3 minutes before I fed her, she weighed in at 231 grams.

    I was just curious, how long and heavy was your ball at 5 months old?


    here she is ^_^

    that all depends on the snake

    I have a year old 100% het pied that is only 370 grams (very stubborn eater)
    and a 5 month old male toffino that is pushing 600 grams

    all depends on how well they feed and the snake in question
    5 months and close to 300 is fair to good for a girl tho

    beauty btw good luck with her
    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    That's a good lookin girl ... Weight and size seem close to average and from what I can see in this picture looks healthy ... I'm pretty sure you have a Caramel Glow there ... You may have an extra gene that you didn't realize ... I'll see what some others think but that looks more than just caramel to me ... Can you get some more pics up?
