BP weekly wieght gain??????

i have had my BP for about 10 weeks now. well he feeds every 7 days and i will be feeding him his 11th meal tonight. currently he wieghs in at a hefty 156 g and around 20 - 21 " in legnth. i am cuurrently feeding him adult mice which are anywhere from 25 g to 32 g and what i am noticing is about a 10 - 12 g wieght gain each week. i wiegh him b4 i feed him and i also wiegh the mouse. I am just wondering what kind of gain everyone else sees with the there younger Bps. thanks

as with anything it's the bp some grow faster some slower.
i have two that were born about the same time and they are feed the same time and one weighs 400 grams more then the other.so theres no real way to say they gain this or that every week.

I usually only weigh after they've left a nice deposit, so I know the weight is all snake. So, I can't give you weekly numbers. But I think (from memory here) that it was like 50g every 3 weeks or so, when they were on mice.

I have some juvis that will gain 100 grams or so a month and others that will only gain about 12 grams a month .... it all depends on the snake. They are each individual animals and can't be cast into a "mold". :D
