Decent Weight??

I've had my normal male bp sinces July 17, 08 and he was 83g's and as of today he's a little over 600g's and was wondering is he too big for the short period of time he eats whatever i put in his tank from mice, asf's, to rats.

Different BPs grow at different rates, I got my male normal BP 12/22/08 as a baby and now hes over 1000 grams

Looks healthy to me not to small and doesn't appear to be fat enough to see the skin between his scales. How often have you been feeding him

I got my Lemon Pastel at the end of July. She was hatched in early July. She's just breaking 500g. But every ball grows at a different rate. I'd say yours has a decent weight on him! I wouldn't be worried or upset.

No, everything is fine. Snakes are like kids, they all grow at different rates. Just be care and don't feed him too many Double Cheeseburgers. :colbert:;)

Take Care!

I have some 2008's ranging from 700-1700 grams. So I wouldn't worry.

Thank all you guys, when I first got creole from petsmart they were feeding him every Thursday and I did it for a while until one thursday I didn't feed him and he was a little nippy so I began to feed him randomly, he never refuses a mean and eats multiple time a week if my other snake balls refuse. What is the appropriate sized prey to feed him and how often do you think I should feed?

Correction I got him in 09

That isn't bad. I've got a couple of gemstones from late June that probably weigh around 800 - 1000 grams.
