    My snakes weight

    Hey everyone I got a quick question.
    My ball python is around 7 months old and I just weighed him for the first time and he is at 480 grams, I have had him for 5 months and has not missed one meal once a week. Does 480g sound right for a 7 month old ball python ?? He seems pretty healthy but I have seen some pics of peoples and they are super fat or thick. I dont have a current pic of him but ill try to take one.

    Re: My snakes weight

    That is a good weight for his/her age. some people have their snakes on a 5 day feed schedule, tile they reach 300-400 grams then on a 7 day schedule.

    I have a 7 month old who is only around 280gr, every snakes gains at their own pace.

    Yeah sounds about right cause a few of mine are almost a year old and the heaviest is 500g so it sounds right
