    Growth Chart
    I am trying to find a growth chart that tells me the average BP should be between these two set weights for this age. I have two bps. A Male and a Female both are around a year old. The male is about 280 grams and the female is about 325 grams and just want to find out if this is normal or if they are small or large for their age etc.

    There is no such a thing it depends on the individual itself, feeding frequency, prey size etc.

    As an example to Deb's post, I have a year old 250g female and a year old 1100g female :)
    Yes, the light weight had eating issues that are being addressed while the 1100g girl is just a munch-mouth. Both are fed every 7 days and both are housed in tubs. I also have yearling females that run the range of 600g to 1100g.
    If you are trying to determine if your are appropriately hefty, you might want to look at prey size, frequency of feeding, frequency of refusals, skin tone, etc. :) And perhaps think about having the vet do a fecal to rule out parasites! ;)

    My female who is 325 grams never had a feeding issue always eats and i feed weekly up till a month ago I was feeding 1 live mouse to each. And just recently upped it to two. My male had a short stint when i first got him where he wasn't eating. But that is all gone now and he eats regularly. They both eat even during shed. I am going to up them to small rats once a week once i get the swapped over to f/t.
