As far as size I have a 6 month old ball python that I think is quite a bit bigger than that. Do you have any idea on its weight?

I would put it on a healthy feeding regiment and it should pack on size fairly quickly.

That is a tiny 3 year old!

My Ball isn't even a year old yet and he is at least quadruple that size :rolleye2:

Cool set up, does he eat good even in the big enclosure? It seems to be filled up nicely.

Very nice bp...there really is no rule as to how long or thick a snake will get but as long as you keep it on a regular feeding schedule then youll be good. I have a 3 yr old bp that to me is still pretty small but hes got good weight and eats everytime i feed. At the same time i have some younger ones that are way up into the 1900 grams and up and theyre on the same feeding schedule so maybe like people, metabolism might be a factor.

i dont have a scale yet cause i cant find one but she deosnt weigh much at all but i was feeding her adult mice once a week but im gonna put her on rats

Are you sure of her age? I'm sure she will get up to size, now that she will be on a proper feed schedule.

I've found the best place for scales is actually... head shops (hookah, "water pipes," etc.) They usually have a really good selection if you have a good one, and they aren't very expensive.
