How's the song go? "And always let your conscience be your guide!" In truth, snakes have as many different body types as people. Just because they may not fit on a chart (I don't know that there is one - or at least one that's very good), it doesn't mean they're unhealthy. Similarly, if they do fit on said theoretical chart, it doesn't mean they are healthy. They grow at different rates and carry weight differently as well. Learn what good looks like and you'll be fine. :)
Re: Length to Weight range?
No guide, I don't even pay attention to weight either (it's just a number), to me the important is the overall look of the animal and health.
If you pay attention to that not only you will be fine but you will not over stress yourself over numbers when someone say my 1 year old is "insert weight here".
Re: Length to Weight range?
I use serp widgets to measure, and I weigh every week right before they get fed, as well as weighing their prey item. I use an excel spreadsheet for each snake and keep track.
It's really neat to see how they progress and have growth spurts and stuff.
Thanks for the info guys. She is definitely a good healthy weight and a happy little Snoot over all.
