[Mexecutioner]

I'm just wondering if anyone has a link that is proven to chalk the weight of your BP to its age and size any answers welcome

It's not possible sure someone made one but it means NOTHING, there is way to much variability it depend on size out of the egg, how fast the animal started to eat on it's own, prey size, feeding frequency, fast , genetic etc I have animals that are 500 grams at a year just like I have some that are 1500 grams at a year.

They all grow at a different rate the important is not the number it is the overall proportion.

As an example that chart shows a one month old at 63 grams and a 2 month old at 82 grams, I have hatchlings that come out of the egg at 90/95 grams

yea, this chart kinda got me thinking. My new ball from a reputable dealer was born last November and he weighs 196 grams. Seems rather small when looking at this chart.

My male was also born last November and has just weighed in at 182g. I know the last few feedings I had for him were a bit small, but I plan on picking up some more appropriately sized ones this weekend. I was a bit concerned about his weight as well, but he doesn't seem skinny or anything so I guess he's just a small one. When I got him, the breeder said he was eating well, and he has always eaten well for me too, but I'm not sure how long it took him to start eating or anything like that.

what size have you been feeding him? For his 1st meal last night, I gave mine a med size mouse (at least that's what it was labeled on the box).

i agree, weights are just numbers.. i keep track of my weights just to make sure they dont lose a bunch during there hunger strikes.. but if they are feeding regularly then i dont really worry to much about how big the snake is

I agree with Deborah, a chart like that is impossible..

The clutch I had many years ago from a rescue female was HUGE. The eggs were huge and the hatchlings were huge. The largest was 116 gr. out of the egg, the smallest was 89 gr. Granted, the female herself was huge.

The hatchlings I have that just got out of their eggs average between 62 and 76 gr. You can powerfeed some snakes, underfeed. Some want food every 5 days, other every 10 days, etc etc.

I've only fed my little guy once per week since receiving him and around 8-12% of his body weight per meal. At 13 months he's 788g, with half of that weight put on in the last 5 months. He was 144g when I received him at 11 weeks old.

He's been fed rats almost exclusively and started growing rapidly once he got up to weaned.
