Ball pythons grow at different rates. Pictures would help. As would some information like what you feed and how often. It is impossible to just say, "Oh at this age it should be this weight."

I agree with angllady2's post, but I will add that in most cases a BP will weigh a little more than 316 grams by that age, but not all. pictures and feeding/temperature/humidity information would give us a much better idea.

Roughly 10 months old and only 318 grams? Seems slighlty underweight to me... But it depends on her eating/your feeeding habits...
My 4 month old cinny weighs that much and i feed only once a week. No powerfeeding or anything...

My female was born 7/2011 and is ~500 grams. However, I switched her to rats and a 5 day feeding schedule almost immediately. I would say yours doesn't look underweight but if you want it to put on the weight switch to rats.
