I'm new to snakes and I just read the thread on the 540 gm '08 Mojave and got me wondering. Instead of hijacking his thread, I started this one. I got my bp (a spider) about a month ago and he was just a little over 100 gms then. All I know is he was born in '08 and he came from the Daytona Reptile Show (end of August, I think). So, he must have been born around June/July. I feed him one weanling ASF rat weekly. Right now, he is only 120 gms. I thought they grow fast at this young age? I don't know what the average weight of a bp is, but judging from the 540 gm Mojave born in May '08 in the previous thread, I'm starting to worry that my bp is not growing right!
