Doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong at all. Weights vary so much in snakes.
He started on pups, then weanlings, and on smalls now. He gets fed every 5-7 days. My smalls are around 60g or so

You sound fine.
All snakes don't grow at the same rate. If your snake had a good body condition, don't worry about it.

I had two females that were born within days of each other. One gained ~100 g a month and outgrew the other. They were fed at the same time and on the same size prey. The larger female was 1000g before her first birthday and the smaller female was at around 500. Both had a healthy body condition. I also had a male that was 500g at 2 years old.
They just grow at different rates.

He is about 1.9 feet. By the way, what is a good way to measure a snake? I put him on my little sisters arm and took him off and measured her arm from where he was xD


This pic had flash one thats why it looks weird








The bowl the weight scale comes with makes taking pictures very easy lol

I measure my snakes sheds if it's one big long piece it's so much easier to measure the skin, they wiggle around so much it's so hard to get an accurate measurement.

Can someone tell me if he is good in weight by the pics I put up lmao

Pulled his most recent feeding stats. Blanks are spots where he either shed or I weighed him. Goes to show growth rates are extremely variable because you've been feeding yours on a similar schedule with a larger prey item. They all don't grow the same

Sheds are probably the most inaccurate way of measuring length haha

He isn't terribly skinny, bit I'd definitely up his feeding a bit.

Alright I'll see if I can get some pups I'll see what sizes they have

From what I can see he looks okay. Doesn't look to be obviously starving or anything. On the small side and could definitely use some size.

I think rat fuzzies are too small for him, but without weights of the snake and the food I can't tell.
