My male pastel was born in OCT 06 didn't eat for two months (dec - jan) and is kicking 550 grams. He'll be an 800 to 100 gramer by breeding season and I'm not eve power feeding :D

My spider is a little younger. It was born on Nov 16 06 and is 480 grams. :D

They only slow grower I got is my Mojo shes only 325 grams and is the same age as my spider.

My male Lemon pastel is probably over 900g now(he never went off feed even during breeding) and he was an August 06 baby. I have an 06 female who is in the 300g range and quickly gaining weight.

I'm really suprised no one has ran with this one yet... ;)

My 06 ball PYTHONS weigh between 540 for a late November pastel, to 800-900 for several that were hatched in July.

I've been buying rats from this company called BALCO. I hear some guys called Bonds and Giambi shop there too. :rolleyes:

He (yes, it's male!) likes to eat. I bought him at 6 weeks old. He had only eaten live but converted to F/T on the first try. At 4 months old he was eating 3 medium mice twice a week. I tried 2 large mice, but he was looking for more. So at 4.5 months old and 450 grams I went to 1 small rat twice a week. I've heard you can't overfeed a juvi BP, he'll just stop eating. My guy was no exception. At 6 months old and about 750 grams he stopped eating. I gave him 3 weeks off and he picked up were he left off, except I only feed him once a week. I think he wants more, but I'm holding him back.

Maybe there's something in the water. Our 7 year old boy (1 of 3 kids) is 80 lbs of solid muscle and can out eat me!! I think he's dippin' into the rats!!

Can't over feed a juvenile BP? This could be great news! My boy, the puny thing, ate 2 weanling mice the other day. I usually feed only one a week. I thought maybe if he didn't refuse to eat this week, that I'd offer him seconds more often. But I was worried that he'd go off feed if I over fed him... you say it's no problem?

You can over feed a young ball. And they will go off feed just like an adult.

Feed once a week the right size food and they will grow like they are suppose to.

he's apparently not growing like he's supposed to if all these other snakes are seeing 500-900 grams and he's looking wistfully at 200 grams though :(
