Small snake? Is this a normal?

What they meant was feeding smaller meals more frequently puts on weight faster. Feeding very small babies meals slightly smaller than their girth on an every 4-5 day schedule, and then moving up to a 5-7 day schedule once they are a few hundred grams or more is a great way to get the size on them that most of us want in the first year. Without them getting too fat looking because the meals are small.

That's exactly what I meant. For me, since I'm trying to get a girl up to breeding weight by next fall, I feed her on a 4 day schedule and I'm about to bounce her up to a 6 or 7 day schedule. But for you, feeding every 7 days is just fine!

One thing to watch out for is feeding an underweight baby too fast. You don't want them to regurgitate. Start off small and once a week for at least a month or two. Then you can bump up the size and the frequency of meals.

Looks like a really dark normal. I agree with the above about the feeding schedule. You definitely do not want to rush them too quickly to put on weight. Once a week for a month and then you should be able to up their routine to every 5 days if you prefer. Good luck!
