What is the normal growth rate for a ball python? I know that is a hard question to answer, but I ask because Lesser seems to being growing a bit slower then I think he should. Currently he in the high 200s gaining 10-20 grams per each adult mouse( once every five days he eats) that I feed him. Is that about right? He didnt eat for about two weeks when I first got him because I was trying f/t and not his prefered live, and that took a small toll on him and he got pretty skinny. Now that hes been nice and plump he was been growing nicely, but is it normal for him to be 280ish grams when he was born in late december? should I start offering more food? Sorry for all these questions, I get a little paranoid when it comes to my animals
