Question?
What is an average size for a june hatchling. She's about 8 months, obviously, and she is almost 1100 grams. I was just wondering how she compares to other balls. Thanks!:sunny:

Re: Question?
growing pretty fast if ya ask me. mind if we see some pics? every snake will grow at different rates. i have 2 05 sisters that have about a 250 g difference and 3 04 siblings that vary by about the same

Re: Question?
June! thats hugh for that i age --------what are you feeding her, small children?
-
Re: Question?
also, how often are you feeding?

Re: Question?
i feed her 2 mice a week, sometimes a small rat.

Re: Question?
Wow! I have a male June hatchling who's nowhere near that size! 2 a week is a lot. I guess if she's functioning alright, there's no problem with it. :confuzd:

as long as it is the right sized, there is nothing wrong with feeding 2 mice.

Re: Question?
Who did you get this one ball from? and are you sure it is a ball python...not another huge breed?
lets do some quick math here...
June of 06 hatchling...~ 7 months.
lets just say a small rat per week (yeah i know baby balls aren't going to be on small rats...) at 45 grams a peice.
45 grams x 4 (1 month) is equal to 180 grams in rats, x 7 (number of months it has been alive) is equal to 1260 grams.
Ok so there's a few options here...
1) It's an 05 yearling, not an 06 hatchling
2) You're power feeding
3) It's not a ball python (maybe a burm?)
4) That snake has never pooped a day in it's life
IMO..1100 grams for a 7 month old baby ball is extreme.

Re: Question?
Take a picture of her next to a quarter or something that shows her size. I just want to see how big she is. ;)

Re: Question?
Well, your snake looks fine. I'd say keep doing what you're doing. It must be a 2005, 1100g is still a good size for that age! My 06 is a little fatty that never stops eating and she's under 400g.

Re: Question?
this might be a stupid thought but are you certain your scale is accurate?
-
Re: Question?
if that is a 40 gallon tank, that snake does have some weight to her.
