wieght questions
So I took the advice I got from some people here and wieghed my bp after she pooped and shes at 620 gm and thats at 1 year old. she looks heathy maybe a little light but you cant see her spine and she only cruises for food the day before feeding day. I guess Im asking about how much do they grow their second year? do they slow down a bit or does it speed up because shes eating larger food.

Just like people every snake grows at their own rate. as long as they are consistently eating and have proper temperatures you are just along for the ride. 620 grams sounds like a healthy weight.

Re: wieght questions
They typically slow down as they get bigger/older, just like other animals. What is her prey weight and feeding schedule? 600g is lighter than most of my girls at that age, but it certainly isn't unhealthy.

So when do you stop feeding the 10-15% body weight and feed them 50-60g (going off the caresheet here) meals?

Is this the care sheet on this site? I dont know personally I would start your own thread if you really want to know but it says adult hood. so I would say about 2-3 years old, but again that was a guess.
