    How much should my snake weigh?

    I just got a kitchen scale today and weighed my baby. He's about 275g. Is this ok for a 22 inch? I feed him large mice every 7 days.

    No, I got him at a local pet store when he was, I'm guessing.. 18 inches on March 25th.

    Wow, thank you! I give the best care I possibly can give to him. I've spent so much money on just making him happy and healthy, I go out of my way for whatever small thing he needs.

    The whole reason we record weight is because length is hard to measure and usually tells us nothing about a heavy bodied snake.

    That sounds fine for a 3-4 month old snake.
