    Weight gain question
    Just a quick question. We have two BPs, Autumn (not sure her morph) 2 month old F, 97g, 20.5" long and Jasper (pastel pied), 6 month old M, 243g 27" long. We didn't weigh Jasper when we first got him, they said they estimated him to be about 170g. Autumn has only put on 12g in the past month, regular feedings (every 4-5days) of live rat fuzzies, is that a normal growth? Or should we be feeding her more or look for bigger fuzzies? I don't think she could handle a pup yet.

    Growth rate is highly variable but under average conditions, they tend to retain about 50% of the weight of what they eat. Rat fuzzies are still the appropriate size till ~200g.
