Just some questions :)

First off, I finally got a scale and I was wondering what's the proper weight for BP's for their age(I'll definitely research this too, I just want y'all opinion)? Maybe at a certain age they're supposed to be a certain height too?

Secondly, what type of bedding do you use? Ever had issues/what bedding have you had issues with?

Lastly(that I can think of right now) anyone have any DIY hides? Share pictures if so please?

Thanks!!

There is no "proper weight" of a BP. It mainly depends on how well they eat. From what I have heard, it seems that a healthy female is 500g per foot (for older snakes). As for bedding, I like the pure cypress mulch as it holds moisture very well.

Yep, they all grow at different rates.

that's kind of what I was talking about, just didn't know how to word it exactly, thank you.
Also, what about a younger snake? Supposedly about two years old, maybe about a foot and a half? What exactly do you define as an older snake?

I have always used aspen. Have recently started using coconut substrate and like it alot!

It is almost impossible to give you exact numbers for a younger snake. As long as the young snake is gaining weight from being fed appropriate sized food, then in my eyes it is healthy size wise.

Alright, thank you!
Would you suggest weighing each snake every week though? Or every other week?

Your snake should always look plump.

I'd say weigh them every other week or even once a month.

I guess that's a good idea is they're being fed(most of em at least) every other week, huh?
