    Here is a pic of mine. She hatched end of June. I haven't weighed her in over a month, but at last weigh in she was 300 grams. She looks a little thicker than yours, but not as long. She is eating rats once a week.

    He's also a bit long for his weight & he has the reddishness on his back, this is not the greatest pic

    I am not an expert but I think your girl looks awesome I think she'll fatten up for sure.

    Re: is this a healthy weight or not???

    My pastel is over 600 grams at only seven months old... She doesn't look underweight but I would definitely switch to rats and a five day schedule. 7-10 days is good for a ball python over 600 grams but anything under that I would go with a five day schedule and maybe slightly larger meals to get her weight up.

    0.1 Normal (Captain Hook) (Hooked deformation on tip of tail)
    1.0 Pastel Poss het Albino (Thor)
    0.1 Normal (Chloe)
    0.1 Tiger Reticulated Python (Jade)
    0.1 Borneo Black Blood Python (Kira)
    Coming soon:
    1.0 Mojave het Albino

    That is what I thought when I saw yours!

    And lately whenever anyone sees him they have the same reaction - "longsnake is loooong" lol.

    It's cool to see pics of all these growing snakes, helps to have something to compare to! Good luck getting your girl on rats...I have a little ways to go but I hope to follow you soon.

    My butter female was born in July, she was on a 5 day schedule but recently bumped it up to 7 days because she is gaining to much weight. Currently at 785g. She has been on rats her whole life, i dont buy mousers. Try getting her on rats, maybe bump feedings to 5 days to get some weight on her.
