    Bp size at 7 months

    Hey, my normal male BP is 7 months now and im trying to see if he is a healthy size but he's my first ball python so i dont really know how big he should be.

    Here are some pics of him, im using an old spice spray can to let you try and see how fat/big he really is.





    A few old pics from when he was about 4 months.

    Your snake looks plenty healthy.

    The facts are that each snake is going to grow at a different rate. Even if you feed on the same schedule. I see it all the time. Some just grow quicker than others.

    Males usually outgrow females to start with, where a female will definitely out grow a male with time.

    Feeding more frequently can speed up the growing process, but is usually frowned upon. i.e. power feeding.
