is this a healthy weight or not???

Here is a pic of mine. She hatched end of June. I haven't weighed her in over a month, but at last weigh in she was 300 grams. She looks a little thicker than yours, but not as long. She is eating rats once a week.http://img.tapatalk.com/aefdc2f8-5f85-a591.jpg

He's also a bit long for his weight & he has the reddishness on his back, this is not the greatest pic :P

I am not an expert but I think your girl looks awesome :gj: I think she'll fatten up for sure.

Finally seen one like mines :gj: he is long

My pastel is over 600 grams at only seven months old... She doesn't look underweight but I would definitely switch to rats and a five day schedule. 7-10 days is good for a ball python over 600 grams but anything under that I would go with a five day schedule and maybe slightly larger meals to get her weight up.

That is what I thought when I saw yours! :D

And lately whenever anyone sees him they have the same reaction - "longsnake is loooong" lol.

It's cool to see pics of all these growing snakes, helps to have something to compare to! Good luck getting your girl on rats...I have a little ways to go but I hope to follow you soon. :P

Weighed her empty tonight, 380.

My butter female was born in July, she was on a 5 day schedule but recently bumped it up to 7 days because she is gaining to much weight. Currently at 785g. She has been on rats her whole life, i dont buy mousers. Try getting her on rats, maybe bump feedings to 5 days to get some weight on her.
