    It's this good growth?

    My girl has gained 53 grams per 24 days. She went from 210 to 263 in 24 days. Is that good?

    Are those both empty weights? If they are, that sounds good to me. I've heard that 50-100 grams a month is good weight gain for a juvenile ball python.

    Then I wouldn't consider either of them really reliable weights. Unless you know exactly what the rats weighed, it'd be difficult to know how much was weight gained and how much was just rat. I try to weigh them right after they poop, so it's a bit easier to know how much they're actually gaining. But either way, good growth is around 50-100 grams per month.

    I feed mine every week and weigh them every month before eating and record it so I have a good growth pattern and know if they lost any or nothing.
