I'd love to hear from you more experienced folks about what a normal weight gain is for BPs under a year old.

I ask because ours is about 9 months old. We got it exactly 3 months ago at just under 120g, so thin it was shaped more like an eel than a snake. At the time I didn't realize just how thin it was, only that the spine was pretty visible. It was being fed hoppers at the time.

After yesterday's 40g meal, it now weighs 320g (was 280g before eating). Allowing for the poop that's due soon, that's nearly a 200g increase in 3 months.

Is this normal, or faster than normal? I'm wondering if he's been quickly catching up to where he should've already been when we bought him.

Because of his thinness, I monitor his weight closely and weigh him immediately before and after each feeding, and occasionally in between. On his 5-day feeding schedule, he rarely drops below the prior post-feeding weight. I'm guessing a few grams would drop if meals were spaced out more than 5 days apart. Is it normal to not drop below the post-feeding weight?
