    Slow start or just a small snake?

    From what I've been told, my bp Arya was born 9/29/16 from a mother of substantial size (3500g+ and 5 ft in length). After a measuring and weigh in today she's roughly 30 inches long and weighs 277 grams. Breeder has had her on rats ever since she could handle them at once every 7 days. I feel like for her age she should be at least double that weight and another 5 inches in length. She looks and acts healthy though. Currently on rat pups and considering moving her feedings up to every 5 days. Thoughts? (I can take pics later for y'all to see)

    Yeah they said she was on multiple rat fuzzies up until this week when I put her on pups. Even the pups seemed a little small for her. I’ll try small rats once she eats these last few pups. Thanks
