Proper weight for 3 months?
So my little guy is 3 months old tomorrow and weighs 88 grams, is this healthy for his age? Took a little while to get his feeding schedule consistent. I got him early July and I believe I've fed him 6 times 3 live 3 f/t thus far and he's now on a 5 day schedule.
I know shedding can be somewhat unpredictable but at his age how often should he shed approximately?

There isn't really a standard at this then this ratio. There isn't also a time line for shed schedule. It all just happens.

Shedding is directly based on growth. The more the snake grow the more it will shed. On average young BP's will shed every 4-6 weeks but that's just a rough estimate.
Your BP is a little small for his age, but they all grow at their own rate.

It's not a bad weight for a 3 month old. My month olds that are eating regularly were hatched at 40 grams and they are sitting at 80 grams right now. My 3 month olds are 150-180 grams, but I do have some slow starters that are a lot smaller. Once you get him eating regularly he should start gaining weight quickly.

Well now that I have him eating consistently should I feed him every 4 days for awhile?

That's what I do with my young BP's

Re: Proper weight for 3 months?
Mine ran about 100 to 125 grams at that age, but I wouldn't worry that yours is on the small side. It will probably catch up. I agree with feeding every four days. Good luck!

Re: Proper weight for 3 months?
Ofelia, my Pinstripe BP, was hatched June 12th of this year and weighs almost 98 grams. She's a little porker. Thought I'd give you a comparison to my hatchling. Hope this helps!
