This much weight gain normal??

Had my Lesser go from 262 to an even 400 in a month....that sound ok?? He also actually got aggressive towards his prey when I switched him over to rats, which he never was with mice....though after showing this zest for rats and I got that weight he refused his last meal, which he'd never done, any ideas why (weekly feeding, all temps & all are fine, and didn't think the last rat was huge for him)?

My girl gained around 100g in a month and did you weigh after you snake pooped? Cause if you didn't it may have some food weight with that. But I wouldn't worry about it as long as your feeding the proper amount of food. But I feel that if the snake will strike constrict and eat its food then its no problem.

That was one of my big concerns because he refused his meal for the first time a day after I got that weight, but he just ate again, although it did take a little longer than I'd like for him to strike....was interested immediatly though, but he ate so I'm happy.

A fatter snake is a better snake :D
