    1 Year old male BP 638 grams0-good or bad?

    Hi Folks

    I have a normal male ball python that is 638 grams. A year ago when I bought him he was 52 grams. I don't power feed him and I feed him appropriate meals once a week. Do I need to be concerned?

    Thanks!

    Sounds pretty normal to me. As long as he is eating you are fine I think.

    Sounds pretty normal. If you post a pic, we can tell you if he looks under weight.

    That doesn't sound too bad to me. My younger bp hatched on 9/23 and weighed 54 grams. He now weighs 220 grams. So that makes him 9 months old. He eats regularly for me (weekly unless in shed, has refused 2 meals) it just seems like he's not growing as fast as my other ball (hatched 7/8 weighed 78 grams and currently weighs 680 grams). Probably just a difference in metabolism.
