    I have a four month old pastel that is 388 grams but he is two feet. I highly doubt that your snake is three feet at six months. My girl is one year and four months and she is 2' 10" at the most. Get an accurate length on him.

    That seems really small. My 4 month girl is only 250g but was 169 last month so in about 2 weeks she hould be that weight and she is only 22-23". How much and often do you feed and 3' does seem pretty long for a 6 month old considering most bps only get 4-5 feet on the regular.

    I have two females that are about 6 months old and the are 475 grams. I'm not sure the length. I have a one female that is almost 8 months and is only 350 grams. But she has refused every meal for the past 8 weeks until last Thursday.

    The weight sounds fine for a snake that age. I'm not so sure about the length. Do you have a picture?
