74 grams when weighed at the vets office on Thursday. (Two days ago.)

I don't know what's normal and what's not but I do know she is the same size she was she I got her while the male's weight has probably doubled. She had been eating the same amount he has but while he's fat and strong, she just looks dainty and fragile. In fact this past week she even felt lighter to me.

I ordered a scale on amazon that came highly recommended by a friend but that thing still hasn't arrived. I just looked and the damned order got canceled because of bad CC info.

She's usually more energetic that the male. I handle them 2,3 times a week. He likes to stay put wherever you put him and takes a while before he wants to venture out. But she likes to make a run for it. But this past week she was just not the same.

Wow itty bitty thing. Well I hope it gets thru of this. Also you seem to be very interested in your animals best interest. So I really hope once you get it home you use the plethora of information this site has to offer.

Thanks. Yea, I wouldn't be surprised if she hasn't grown since birth. Because if she hasn't grown with me, then she probably hadn't grown with them. They had her in with 2 other snakes. The herp store I bought her from got her from another customer who's balls had babies (lol) and who goes to the store owner for advice and help.

She is a tiny thing! My mojave girl came to us at 84g but we had her on a 3-4 day schedule until she hit 150g then moved her to a 5 day.

how old did you say she was? And did she come from a breeder? It sounds like she might have parasites but from what I understand that isn't very common from a captive bred snake...

You can buy a good scale at walmart or target in the kitchen supplies area, just buy a food scale that measures in grams. I have heard of people buying them for very cheap that work great. I bought mine off amazon and its the same one sold at reptile basics, I really like it...

Jbean, I already decided to pay a visit to the herp store next week to see if I can get any more information about manasha that might help me.

I bought her and Bogo end of Jan, beginning of Feb. this first pic I have is dated 2/2. And that's the one in my profile here. The other one where she's laying on her hide is from about 2 week ago or so.

They said she was 3 months old when I got her. Which would put her hatch date in November last year.

So 5 months of age going on 6.

They said she was breed by another customer with two pastels. Not a breeder

WOW, my last clutch averaged at 70g a baby (granted they were big eggs), so maybe she has a parasite or something. Is the vet taking a fecal sample?

Did you do ANY research before getting your bp? Did you even go over the care sheet? I mean there are tons of redlights popping up all over this thread, people keep giving you great information, Slim has helped me through a lot of problems, I could direct one of the members who I learned a greatful lesson from, and I am glad that he talked to me the way he did, got it through my thick teenage stubborn head. And on top of all that, you are trying to take in foster parrots, I mean seriously? Deal with what you have before getting more things!

While I understand your frustration, I think this is enough. She has taken her snake to the vet and is doing the best she can and that is all that matters now. I think the OP has had enough scolding for a lifetime.
