What's a Good Weight For 2 an a half month old male bp?

I've got a '10 Male BP, about 2 and a half month's old, and was just wondering if anyone could tell me what a good weight would be for this age? thankyou.

Im not sure if it works that way...

It really depends on the hatch weight of the snake, but if I had to make any kind of average guess, I would say 70-100 grams or so...

Oh Ok, I'm new to having snakes so I was just trying to gather a bit of information, I guess it's just best for me to judge on how my snake looks, thanks anyways.

Ahhh, Thanks a lot for that reply, I just wanted some other opinions so that I was confident that My little boy was healthy, thanks a bunch :)

There is really no good answer for that question any more then wanting to know what the proper weight of a human being should be.There are big people and small people and snakes as well. I have some BP's that have grown very slowly and I have 2 that grew so fast that it didn't even seem possible for them to grow so fast and huge as they did.
As long as they are steadily gaining girth and look healthy they are OK.

Really just depends...my Mojave Pair are about 2 months old, and are both 145-155 grams (female-male)...but they pound everything I put infront of them and I'm fairly certain they'd eat every day if I let them ;)

Like Dale said above...there is really no way to tell since they grow at different rates. Some breeder only maintenance feed their hatchlings until they sell, so that may make him a little smaller...or if maybe he was a problem feeder at first...it really just depends...but if you don't have a gram scale I HIGHLY recommend one :D Walmart...$30...awesome investment!

Thanks Everyone, I'll just have to see how he goes then :).

Right, which is why they have percentile charts for humans that show statistically what range most people will fall in. It doesn't mean that if you're taller/shorter or heavier/thinner that it's necessarily a bad thing, but they do at least have the average range for humans. Problem is gathering it for snakes has so much to do with what you feed them, how often you feed them, and a whole list of not food related reasons, that it would be almost impossible to isolate a neutral average.

Wow that seems lite. On of my 3 weighed 84 grams right out of the egg. My other 2 were 78 and 76 grams.
