I picked up my first bp last Tuesday, a male pastel, and he's been doing well eating a f/t over the weekend. The breeder told me he was born in August of 2010 making him around 8 months old. He weighed ~263g when I brought him home.

The breeder told me he's been eating once every 7 days consistently and was feeding him large mice. I bought a bunch of the same mice he was using as I thought it would make the transition easier to use the same food. I weighed several of the mice and they were all 28-30g.

Questions I have floating around in my head then:
- Is 263g small for 8 months?
- Should he be eating more frequently than every 7 days?
- Should I move him up to a bigger food size - if so what?

I'm going to weigh him again tonight. I weighed him in the small tub he was in when I brought him home and then weighed the tub again after I put him in his tank and determined his weight from there but I may have been off somewhere. I'm using a digital scale.

I'll also measure him tonight as well, using this snakemeasurer application I found searching online.
