It has been 6 months and he is just over 1000g. They do make up lost time when given the opportunity. To give you an idea of a well fed female, I have one born early August which I brought home in September and she is now almost 800g.
That snake could easily eat 2 of the mice I typically see at Petco/Petsmart...
