Offical BP Weigh In!!!!!

Heres a chance for evreybody to tell evreyone what there BP weighs in at and of course tell us how long that he/she is.

My Sidious Weighs in at 1485g's. I weighed him today. I rescued him from a girl that didnt want to keep care of him anymore. I beleive he is either a year old or just over. He is 45" Long and very tame.

Just pick your best couple i guess.

Hmm... Amani is about 42-44" and 1200g. She was born July 25th of last year. Still fat and sassy :)

Bela is around 26 inches, and is at 990 grams right now. I hope to breed her next year! My largest male is around 5 pounds. Not sure about my BCi; he moves around too much, and my little BP guy, I would estimate hom to be around 750g.

This is (Big Mama). Last years pic! She was 4200g. In that pic.

No, nothing wrong. Don't get hung up on weights, all snakes are different. As long as you're feeding an apropriately sized food item every 7-10 days your fine. ;)

Monty is about 14 months old. I weighed him today and he is 513 grams. Is this an unhealthy weight. I wonder because some of yours are twice his weight and the same age.

I heard that feeding them to fast to make them grow quick for breeding was not good because it takes years off of their life. Is this true? What is a good weight for a yearling male?

Is waiting 14 days bad?

you have to keep a steady schedule monty, i feed mine every saturday, he's still a baby ,for yours i'd experiment within 7-10 days, anything longer is pushing it, doesn't he get hungry and look for food? friday night and mine is cruising everywhere looking for dinner :rockon:

Hatched August 16th, 1150g & 40". Eats a small rat every Sunday, even in shed (complete shed yesterday).

Still not burned (for all you tubbies!). :rolleyes:

Matika is 4 years old, 44'' long, and weighed 1755g this morning, but she's got a small meal in her.

my biggest girl at the moment is a little over 2500 grams...Jas that is one big girl how many eggs does she produce or did she produce ?

heavyest ball I have is a female ( recently acquired ) weighed and measured this morning ( weirdly enuff considering this post ! )

she's 44 inches and 818g , age is unknown . tho told she at least three !!

my bee is 696g and was a year about two weeks ago . just shows the diff with some snakes.....need to meassure tho but reckon she almost 36 inches ( guesstimated)

Okay, just a couple of the larger females. I saw the pic you posted before of your big female, don't think you mentioned weight at the time.

Dex is 4 years old (born June-July 03) and weighs 910grams. He's just over 36".

He may have gotten bigger, but at one point he just refused to eat. I started with mice then worked up to small rats and one day he just wouldn't eat the rat. This was also during November-April when some people say BP can be a pain to feed. He only started eating again when I tried a mouse. Until recently he was eating 3 mice but now he's eating rats again. I just fed him 2x40g small rats, does 1x100g medium rat sound too big for him? These are frozen of course.

CB 2000 girl weighing in at 6lbs.:D

Your male Ball Python doesn't need anymore food than what one of those 40g rats can provide. The rest is just waste and will come out the back end. A 100g rat would easily cause another fast, like you just experienced. Stick with smaller meals once per week and he should eat consistently.

my two little guys are probably 200g combined :sunny:

My pastel male is 65cm and 250g, and my normal female is 77cm and 425g Hoping to see 1000g from at least one of them before november...

Mine range from 300 grams to 1587 grams.

Our biggest is a normal female named "Big Bertha." She weighs in at around 4300 gr and is probably 10 years old. She is just a pet now; she had to have surgery last year when several eggs became impacted so now she can't ovulate anymore. She is the sweetest snake!
