    Ball python went grew from 160g to 240ish in 28 days...

    Seems like a lot? I feed him a rat pup every 5 days. He has noticeably grown a lot in the past month so I thought I'd weigh him. He weighed a 260g but he probably has a 20g rat pup inside him at the moment. So he's grown 70-80g in a month.

    Wait until that meal is digested and see where you're at.

    Seems normal. Dottie went from a 90g 12" worm to a 1000g+(my scale battery died so this is the last weight I got on her awhile ago) 4' cage destroyer in about 15 months. Pythons can grow pretty darn fast. Now if that was my boa's growth, I would be freaking out as boas grow MUCH slower than that unless you power feed them.
