Ball python weigth not enough for age?
Hello,
My female bumblebee ball python is currently about 4.5 months old and weighting 175g.
At first I was feeding an adult mouse every 5 days, but now I'm doing it every 7 days to feed the same day as I feed my boa. I'm a little worried, since I saw a chart that said most bp's are averaging about 230gr at 4 months old. Am I underfeeding her? She has only missed a meal because I went out of town and left her with someone that didn't want to feed a rodent haha, but she's an amazing eater with an amazing FR.
Thank you so much
Re: Ball python weigth not enough for age?
Nope. She's fine. As long as the prey you're feeding her is about the same size as her girth she's fine. That's not a bad weight and it's better to slightly underfeed a snake than to overfeed at all

Thats a good weight. If she was 100G I'd say theres a problem. My Male is 6.5 months and 250G. My Female is 3.5 months and 150G.
