    weights
    I was wondering if anyone could tell me the normal weight ranges of a 7 month old female ball python and an 8 month old male ball python. I was just wondering to make sure that my two balls were growing normally and healthy.

    I looked for threads about this, but I didn't find anything. Sorry if it's already been answered.

    I have a female and male that are 7- 8 months old and the female is 815 and the male is 903 as of tonight. But each snake is different.

    I thought boys are smaller than girls. My female is about 350 and my male is about 280. But I feed them two fairly large mice a week, (the girl gets the largest of the 4). They seam healthy. They aren't skinny. Is it still normal for them to be so much smaller than yours?

    Yes. each animal is different and grows at a different rate. As adults females are typicaly bigger. But when they are small they will vary greatly. Just feed them the right size food every week and let them grow as they will. They'll get there sooner than you want them to.. LOL

    Well, considering that my 9 month old female is at 324g (of course, she hasn't eaten in two months) and my supposedly 6 month old male is at @92g (the rescued pastel)... They grow at their own rates. As long as they are healthy, fleshed out with no bones showing, and bright eyed they are OK. :)
