If you're fine with feeding him mice, then it doesn't matter if he doesn't want rats. Normally that's just a preference for folks who don't want to feed multiples when the snake is an adult, which is less of an issue if he's your only one. He looks very healthy.

mine turned a year old this month, and he is @ 950g ish, and he seems alot skinnier than yours, so i guess every snake is different. Mine is a mouser also, and lately has been extra picky with eating.

My BP is a '10 male and he weighs 650g He's put on a nice chunk of that in the last couple months now that I've switched him to a more appropriately sized meal each week.

My normal male is 2 years old and he just hit 700 grams but he has skipped a lot of meals over the second year so I think that's why hes a little small for his age id expect him to be at around 900 grams if he fed regularly. I also have a Female pastel Same age as him and she just got to 600 grams but shes never missed a meal. Don't worry just let them grow at there own pace:)

Males are generally lankier than females, but you should never see any bones. If their spine is showing (they will be V shaped) then you might want to up their feeding, but your boy looks like he has a nice, rounded shape to him. So judging by those pictures you provided I think he looks pretty good. Just keep up what you're doing and you'll be fine. :gj:

Great, thanks for the weights guys :)
