My male Pin is 720g, female normal is 562g, and male normal is 514g. They are all still underweight though, my skinniest is currently my Pin who just ended his 10month feeding strike.
-
Julius-about 320 grams
William-380 grams
Vincent-400 grams
Elizabeth-110 grams
Humphry-I haven't weighed my boa yet but if I had to guess maybe 400 grams?

Re: How heavy are your snakes?
Well, Symy's like 1300 grams, which is like around 3 pounds...
I didn't know I had such a fatty on my hands...
-

1300 isn't really a "fatty", depending on how long she is. I wouldn't be surprised if she gets bigger. My male Pin was around 1100g before he went off feed. In my opinion Seeley is big for a male! He's incredibly long. :P
-
Spider 898g
Pastel 592g
Normal 100g
Jag Carpet- 244g
RTB- maxes out my 5000g scale

She's just shy of 4 feet. I suppose you're right then.
I hope she get's bigger. I'd love to have a 6footer on my hands :P
-
I weighed Hera yesterday and empty she is up to 675g! She has grown at a great rate now that she is eating regularly.
-
Re: How heavy are your snakes?
Maynard (normal male): just a touch shy of 700 g
Diana (yb female): around 180 ish g (been a while since the last weighing, so that's my estimate of her weight since she put on a fair bit)
Judith (nicaraguan BCI female): about 330g (also an estimate, haven't weighed in a while).
I personally can't wait until my little Nic. gets bigger, and the yb too. Maynard is a little on the chubby side of life though lol!
-
I have an early 08 female pastel that still weighs 900 grams! :mad:
She eats great! Sheds in one piece and is basically in perfect shape.. she's just little..

It's quite unlikely she will ever get that long. BPs average 4-5ft fully grown, typically closer to 4ft. I believe the largest BP on record was between 6-6.5 ft. But that is VERY rare.
-
My male bp is 1451 grams! :]
He was about 250 grams a year ago! He has grown so much!

Ive seen a picture of "the" largest" female ball in a book, she was massive 6 foot 7 and rounder then the guys arms , he has a beard and he isnt small lol
My big lady is about 3 1/2 feet i feel like she is skinny now lol, its good to know my little ladies are on the + size compared to some other '10 babies.

Re: How heavy are your snakes?
Pyrite '09 het pied male - 812 grams
Luna '09 het pied female - 1064 grams
Carlisle '08 Brazilian rainbow boa - 821 grams
Haven't weighed my pastel recently but she's ~250 grams
-
Aphrodite: 301g
Bella: 408g
Lily: 1332g on empty
Houdini: 391g
Bonnie: 226g
Clyde: 281g
Nova: 219g
Zar: 196g
I don't weigh my boa often, but she was 109g when I got her earlier this month.
I can't wait until I have enough data to graph their growth. I'd like to start getting their length so I can see what they are doing with the food I'm feeding them. Bella is chumby but Houdini is long and skinny and seems determined to stay that way. They are both great eaters so it's interesting to see how they grow differently.

Give it time, she will get there. Our big girl just got off a month plus hunger strike too. We don't power feed either. An appropriate sized rat every week. Its amazing how quickly they grow.

oh i only feed her once a week as well. i got her maybe almost 2 months ago at little shy of 1,600 and boy she has grown now at 2,639. didn't refuse a meal even when in shed. though i feed her little smaller meal during shed.

Wait a minute here...
You are telling me she gained over 1,000 grams in under 2 months?
Am I missing something here? Am I the only one perplexed by this? I've never seen weight gain like that unless you are feeding her rats made out of tungsten!
-
I don't weigh mine too often, so I don't know all of their weights... but my largest BP is Mona, who usually ranges between 2,300-2,600g, and I have a few others in the 1,500-2,000g range. My smallest BP is little Snug, who was the runt (and non-feeder at first) from my clutch last year - he's a whopping 240g now @ 7 months old. :D
P.S. I also have a corn snake who weighs around 1,200g, which the corn folks here should know is CRAZY big! :O

Yeah, that sounds pretty unbelievable - what the heck is she eating?! The fastest growth I've witnessed was with my Mojave, who went from 93g to 950g in about 8 months. He's now just under 2 years old, and probably weighs over 1,600g. And I thought that was good!

I've got a normal het amel male corn that is also around the 1,200g range too. BIIIIG boy. He has fathered several clutches for me and next year I'm hoping his son will take over for him. Its scary watching him dominate the ladies that aren't even half his size.
