    Actually in those pics he looks pretty good. Maybe he is just a slow grower, wasn't on a great feeding schedule or the breeder got his hatch date mixed up.

    regardless, he looks ok but I have a hard time believing that he is 8 months old. It is possible that he is just a very slow grower but this seems a little extreme to me.

    Re: is my bp normal/ healthy size??

    It would have seemed at first that for an 8 month old, 200 grams is small side. After seeing your pics I think he looks ok. I have one that I would swear was a pygmy ball. He is just short and small. My girls are putting him to shame. But, they do all grow at their own pace.

    I have a spider male that was born in June, and he currently weighs 480 grams. I have a Pastel Female born on September 2nd that currently weighs almost 700 grams already. They do grow at very different rates. As I said 200 grams seems a little low to me 4-6 months seems much more likely, but once again anything is possible. From the picture your snake looks healthy so there is nothing to worry about at this point.

    My guys are roughly the same size, I know 100% Aurora is July 31st 2011 its 130 Grams Empty.. Where Diablo is 150 full
    But I can not be sure of Diablo's hatch date
    How can a snake about the same age and 208 Grams be under weight.

    Plus the OP left out if this was Empty Weight or Full Weight

    After getting to page 2, it looks like it is time to ramp up the feeding

    I'd say he looks fine, he's not becoming a triangle yet. I'd put him on a 5 day schedule myself if he'll eat that often.

    Oh Iam sorry but yes he is completey empty for sure! The first night he went so much like three to four bigg ones and again last night was a lil smaller . But I assume he's empty when on ride home with him I noticed the tail was very swollen and full looking and now is not. Also as far as feeding fked when would it be safe to try? I only got him just sat.
