Is my 14 female in a good weight/growing steady?
I got my 14 albino girl in late November and she was ard 170 when I first got her.She missed a few feeding days since Jan and seems she ll never hit300g. Here's her weight I recorded from time to time.Is she growing steady or I need to be worried Abt

What size meals are you feeding her? Either a weight or a comparison to the snake's widest point of girth. Post a pic of your little girl, that will help us determine if she is underweight.
0.1 Lesser Pastel
1.0 Black Spooky Kitty
0.1 Faye Tiny Kitty
?.? Feral Cat Colony
And more on the way always....

So since you weighed her every single week, her weight isn't accurate because you're weighing her after she ate a meal her weight will always go up because the feeder is now inside her. That doesn't measure the weight she actually gained. I usually weigh my BPs when they shed and poop which happens about once a month. That way, I can tell the actual weight they gain.
0.1 Reg. BP Het. Albino (Faye),
1.0 Albino BP (Henry),
0.1 Pastave BP Het. Pied (Kira)
1.0 Pied BP (Sam)
1.0 Bumble Bee BP (Izzy)

My little girl has been eating adult mice since before she was 300. Advice, compare the girth of the snake at her widest point to the mouse. The mouse should be about as big around as her widest point. You should get a visible lump after she eats. To me she doesn't look underweight, but those numbers look low. If you don't get a good sized lump it might be time to move it up.

I tried offer the right size of mouse but she seems scared of it in the second time I offered her this upgraded prey ...I think she growing steady in length but not in weight...I think I may run a fecal test for her.My enchifire boy s almost up to her weight from 150gr within about a month only.
