Just got my scale

[TheHabit]

My bp is roughly 2 feet long and weighs 208 grams.....does that sound good? He looks really healthy.

How old is your snake? I've never gone by length as an indicator of health!

[snakelady]

How old is he?
do you have a picture?

[TheHabit]

I dont know exactly how old he is, I think a little less than a year. I don't mean he looks healthy because of how long he is, but his overall appearance looks good.

This is the best pic I have of him, its from a couple weeks ago. I havent been able to uplaod any newer ones.


He is on paper towels now, too.

[TheHabit]

sooo... does that sound about right?

[starmom]

It's a hard picture to tell by. Check out the muscle tone on your snake and whether you can see the backbone, etc.

LD is 7 months old, and 220 grams, 2 feet exactly. this is him last week. As long as you are currently feeding him the appropriate amount, he will continue to grow. LD was under weight when I bought him at 2 months old (65 grams) and did not eat for one month during treatment for a case of mouth rot.
