    Are those weights both empty? Meaning you didn't feed her then weigh her soon after. To try to be as accurate as i can I weigh mine right after they have a movement.

    That is good growth though. Its said that slow growing snakes is healthier for them.

    They all grow at different rates too. Pictures? We would be better off to see her, and see if she looks good. But it sounds fine.

    I had babies pip on 9/2 that were ~54g. Those babies are now ~100g and eating twice a week. So, your girl sounds like she's doing perfectly.
