weights of ball pythons

I have four ball pythons but i am curious as to how much a female ball python should weight when they are a year and a half old just want to make sure that i am raising it right. :confused:

It really depends on the genetics of the female. I have a 1yr and 4 month old female that just hit 3 ft, and she's 750 grams, while I've heard of some people who's snakes are longer and weigh almost 1,000 grams by just a year old.

As long as you feed your BP an appropriate size prey once a week, and your BP is healthy with a good body weight you are doing it right.

I have BP that are 1 year old and 600 grams while some are a year old and 1000+, all fed the same way just growing each at their own rate.

My only snake is a just under a year old male that was over 1200g the last time I weighed him which was a couple weeks ago.
