    Young ball python weight

    I have a male banana pastave bp that was hatched 12/9/16. I got him on the 4th of this month. When I got him he weighed 87g, next week he was 98g, and then the last time I weighed him he was 100g. From what I have been seeing on the internet it seems like he is growing a little slowly. What do you guys think? I have fed him 3 times. I've been feeding him hopper mice that are around 10g each.

    Smaller snakes put on weight slowly. Keep feeding on a 5-7 day cycle, keep the prey appropriate sizes and you'll get there

    Thank you for the reply! He seems to be a solid eater. He has had no problems taking F/T so far. He is due to eat today, but he is in shed and I don't think he will eat. I picked him up yesterday to check on him, and he would not come out of a ball because his eyes are cloudy. Maybe I will get lucky and today will be the day his eyes are cleared up and he will eat tho. We will find out later.
