I was surprised when Colette told me she was a 2012. I thought she was small as well. She said they don't do power feeding and simply fed her once a week. Either way, I'm looking forward to beefing her up

I don't power feed mine either and while I do stay on a 6 day schedule, I've seen bigger then that that was fed on a 7 day schedule. You should of asked what they're feeding.

Re: My new Hypo Mojave from NARBC Anaheim
She is beautiful!
As for the issue about her size, most breeders just do maintenance feeding. They feed small meals weekly and it keeps them small. She was probably still being fed hopper mice when she could be on adult mice.

Beautiful hypo mojave!
As for the size thing, I have some 2012s that are 800 grams and others that are 200-300. They all had been with me from very young and get offered food every 7 days. Some are pickier with frozen, but will still eat every 2 or 3 offerings. Some of the smaller ones will eat every time I offer, but they don't retain as much weight as some of the others. I wouldn't start saying bad things about a breeder or a way someone cares for an animal simply because they aren't 1000 grams at almost a year old. Every animal is different. Her body looks nice and full, so they were doing something right.
Not every snake will put on 50-100 grams a month. When I see animals that put on 200-300 grams a month it raises a red flag about the feeding that the owner/breeder is doing. To me, up to 100 grams a month is a nice steady (and slow) rate of growth. I'm all about raising them up slow and not cutting time off of my animals life. Just my two cents.
