Healthy weight?

What are healthy weights on yearling BPs? What about 8 month olds? Thanks. :)

my girl, hatched ~ aug 08 is at 450 grams. Never missed a feeding since I got her early oct, regular feeding schedule(appropriately sized rodent every 5 days until 350 grams and then every 7 days since).

However, that does not mean that all healthy BPs that are 6 months old right now that have eaten every 5-7 days are going to weigh 450 grams. Some will weigh more, some will weigh less, all BPs will grow different.

Thank you, at least that gives me a general idea. :)

I got mine in September 08. Not sure exactly when she was born but she's been a problem feeder and only weighs 190 grams. She's been eating lately though and I've stepped up her food size so here's hoping... She is healthy though.

some times stepping up the food size is all it takes to spark interest. My BP takes adult mice faster then he used to take the hoppers.

Well I started feeding her in her tank to reduce stress and she hits every time and hits HARD. She never hit hard before when it was hoppers in a seperate feeding bin, now its like a frieght train lol. The mice I feed her now are about 20g each and she's 190. So that's right about 10% of her body weight which is good for the time being. I'll probably have to step up to rat pups soon but nobody sells them around here. Just f/t mediums. Don't want to go ordering 25 rat pups for one snake that'll probably outgrow them well before they run out but I might have to... I really need to just go to a herp show but that would be bad because I'd come home with like 6 snakes that I have no room for lol.
