How much do your adult males weigh?

Don't know if I can edit via tapatalk but he is now slightly more because he just this minute ate :)

Since my boy is 900 at one and a half years old should I expect him to keep growing for awhile or is he about done?

He will get bigger, normally getting to his biggest at 3 or 4, and from there will probably stay at a similar weight. This is dependent on your feeding regime of course.

He's on a small rat every week right now. I wondered because while he's 900 grams already he's pretty slim for a bp, not the normal heavy body I think of. I can still close my thumb and forefinger around his thickest point

I read feeding more each week leads to larger adult sizes but since it was in the internet I assumed it false. Is there any truth to that statement?

That could just be his build. My 4 y/o is feeding on a large weaner on a weekly basis and is heavier than your male. But then again, he is a lot older. Just wait and see how he goes, I wouldn't be worried at all about his weight, 900g is fine.

I am not sure how much truth there is in that statement, but I think that it is better to just stick to his normal size of prey item. Go for a size similar to the widest part of its body and leave it at that. I don't see the need to feed him food bigger than is needed.

I've got about a 1800 gram male who is believed to be an '08(not sure of exact age). He's a mouser and his previous owner warned me to keep good track of his feedings because even on mice he tends to get fat pretty fast, and she wasn't kidding! I imagine he could weight a good bit more, if I really let him eat :P Gotta love those easy keepers:gj:

I purchased a small collection from a guy today (4 BP's and a rack). The "male" bumblebee weighed in at 2617 grams. Me thinks he is a female. lol

I have a 12 yr old normal at 1050g (+/- 25)
I have a 9 yr old pastel at 1100g.
Hope it helps. :)

My early 2012 male is about 1100 and still growing.

I've had males up around 1500g before. I personally try to keep my males a little bit leaner - now I am not starving them but I tend to feed males every 10 - 14 days an appropriate meal whereas I will feed the females every 5 - 7 days. I want my males to stay comfortable in 28qt tubs if possible, so they usually hover around 800-1200g.
