    weight question

    ok I know that snake grow at different rates and all. I was looking on kingsnake and I seeing yearling mojave ( I can dream of getting one ) that are well lighter than my yearling snakes. I do under stand that breeder are out for profit so they don't feed every week in most cases.

    It got me thinking about other people snakes rough weights about the one year mark ? I bleive that the 3 I got last year albino and a pair of het axanthics are in the 500-600 gram range I have not been feeding every wek since the albino only takes live, and there not enough asf of proper size to feed all 10 smaller snakes. I also got a 1500( almost ) gram female het pied and a 800 gram het pied make ( both same age from 2 differnet breeders so I know aboutthe difference in their growth rates. I just wondering about how other people snake fairs after a year and around the second year mark?

    I would refuse to do business with someone who is torturing their snakes like that.
