    Undersized catch-up ?

    Reading what most other late 08 snakes weigh it seems that my snake is behind most of them (168g) I have been feeding every 5 days based on 10% of body weight and she has been steadily been increasing in size (girth and length). Will she be stunted when mature or is it possible she will catch up ?

    Snakes grow at diff rates, yours should develope nicely, as long as your husbandry is fine, and you are feeding the right size prey items.
