He started on pups, then weanlings, and on smalls now. He gets fed every 5-7 days. My smalls are around 60g or so

I had two females that were born within days of each other. One gained ~100 g a month and outgrew the other. They were fed at the same time and on the same size prey. The larger female was 1000g before her first birthday and the smaller female was at around 500. Both had a healthy body condition. I also had a male that was 500g at 2 years old.
They just grow at different rates.

Sheds are probably the most inaccurate way of measuring length haha

He isn't terribly skinny, bit I'd definitely up his feeding a bit.

From what I can see he looks okay. Doesn't look to be obviously starving or anything. On the small side and could definitely use some size.
I think rat fuzzies are too small for him, but without weights of the snake and the food I can't tell.
