    Sounds like she is on a the small/thin side, honestly.

    That is a good time to weigh. Completely empty. You'll notice a major difference after the switch. :gj:

    Yea im pretty stoked about switching, I had a bunch of fuzzy so i wanted to use them up but i deff think its time to switch, i guess rat fuzzies would be a good size switch right? because shes also ready to go up in size feeder wise

    I'd go with large fuzzies or small pups at her size. If you go with pups she will grow into them very quickly. Before you know it you will be moving up to weanlings and small rats. Then in no time you'll be wondering where your cute little baby ball python went. :D

    Haha, I tell ya, shes cute how she is, but id love for her to grow :rolleyes:. I played with a 6 1/2-7 foot columbian red tail (one of my personal favorites, but not enough room for one yet) at a show near me recently and loved the size, it was big so i didnt feel id hurt it but not unmanageable either, so if she grows a little on the quick side, i wont mind :P

    She's on the small side, but if she was a small hatchling or didn't start eating right away that's definitely an average weight. Most of my 4 month olds are sitting at 200ish.

    Proportionally speaking she doesnt look "thin" by any means, but shes definitely not chunky. Either way im starting with rats to try to bring those numbers up a little ;]
