Age?

[Tommy079]

How can I be sure of my bps age? She weighs 277 grams. Breeder told me she was 6 months. I’ve had her for about 2 months. The web has different charts I just want to make sure I’m feeding properly.

The only way you can be sure of your bp's age is to ask the breeder, but that's not going to help you determine how much you should be feeding her. She should be fed according to her size and body condition. A pic would help. Include something in the pic to give us a sense of scale (e.g. a ruler, a quarter). This thread will show you how to post it: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...-Post-Pictures.

There's no reason to bother her. She won't starve in a week.

Full shed here are some pics of her.

Kinda have to guesstimate she wouldn’t stay straight. One more of her drinking water. This is her second shed w me. Her first was horrible. So I was excited when I found her whole shed in there this morning.

She looks great. What are you feeding her now?

One adult mouse every 7 days. I was doing 2 but I was told that might be too much. I want to do rats but none of the pet-stores have one small enough.

Size is really something that's not always able to correspond with age.

I have 2 snakes that I personally hatched last July. One is 1/3rd the size of the other. Both female from the same clutch.
Hatch weights were 27g and 62g.
I would trust the breeder if they have good reviews and seem reputable.
