Is its weight okay?

I have a baby ball.. It was born in october..

I never weighed it until just now..
It weighs 119 grams..
Is that okay??
It doesnt sound like that much.

my pastel was born in oct 08, and he weighs 284g. so yeah it underweight. what are you feeding him?

maybe a little underweight... she's only a few months old though, and they don't all grow at the same rate. Maybe bump up the prey size... what's her feeding schedule?

i feed it a hopper mouse every 5 days

Your snake is not the idealistic growth of all snakes. Each and every snake grows at a different weight, some significant, some not. My first ball grows extremely slowly, while a couple others are half his age and catching up fast.

At that weight, up to an adult mouse.

still feed it eery 5 days tho?

I would up the prey (as suggested) and still feed every 5 days until she/he gets some weight on :)

what should it weigh right now??

Mine both weigh around 130 and were born at the same time as yours... I have yet to get them over to frozen and have been feeding them live fairly infrequently (the first month (november) they didn't even eat because they wouldn't take frozen, after that I have fed them maybe 2 mice every 2 weeks, the issue is that getting lives is actually quite the endeavor for me (it's about 3 hours to a pet store and back since I don't drive and the closest pet store (about a 45 minute walk) refuses to sell me live because they will go to feeding and they have as such refused time and time again to sell to me). But this week I should get a shipment of small rats (frozen) which I hope to get them eating :( I'm just hoping that heating them in warm water will work :/

And I'd also recommend having your snake on full sized mice at this point. At birth they should be getting a hopper or two every 5 to 7 days, by 3 months they should be eating mice to small rats on that same schedule.

no specific weight there all different, I have a 2 guys that were born in july and are only 230-280, Is your snake a good eater, does it take some time to eat, try 2 mice a week, 2 hoppers or 2 adults, I would at least up it to 1 adult a week, and yea keep at ur same 5 day schedule.
