    new to me ball!

    so I finally got him today, was told he was a male, a year and a half old... only weighs 890 grams.. don't know if that is high or low, I feel it is low, but I am going to do some searching and see.. I will be back!.. I will post a few pictures here soon.

    thanks!

    It's about how they look and feel, not always just the number.

    yeah I figured as much, which is why I went and got a scale and weighed him before I tried to feed him. I seen doing my search that it said the same thing also so thanks for the quick reply, it is greatly appreciated!

    Congrats on your first bp! Glad to hear he ate and even on his first day with you! One year and 890g is not low weight IMO, my super pastel that turned a year on 06/12 is a little under 800g and he is healthy and I the ivory I just bought is about a year and a half old and weighs 1100. Just keep feeding the appropriate sized prey and keep husbandry perfect and your snake will be healthy and stress free.

    I've got an 08 male normal that's just over 1100 he's a typical eat a few times a year type of dude. Not skinny. Just not a beast in the eating division. Congrats on the new addition!
