Weight

[hypnotixdmp]

Anyone with a baby blood, how much does it weigh?

That's kind of a broad question that depends on the age of the animal, feeding frequency, feeder size, and how recently the animal has defecated...

I mean like babies that have not eaten, babies that are just now ready to go. Just looking for the average weight at which a BP can be rehomed safely (assuming there are no problem feeders/shedders)

I don't really know anyone who "rehomes" babies that have not eaten, as they are not "ready to go" at that point. That said, hatchling blood pythons are usually in the 75-100 gram range, with Borneo & Sumatran STPs a bit smaller. Also, hatchling bloods & STPs don't shed in the normal 10-14 day cycle that most other young pythons do. It's usually 2-3 months (or more) post hatch before you see their very first shed, although they should begin feeding a couple of weeks after hatching (on average - this can vary from snake to snake).

Not sure what you're asking, but I got my borneo at ~250-300 grams.
