    No idea. I got her back on nov 28 and was told she was a problem feeder and hadn't eaten for 2 weeks. She was a bit skinny and weighed 102g. I weighed her 2 days ago after she pooped and before I fed her and she was up to 230g. She has shed twice in that amount of time also and has gained mass physically as well as scale wise so I know she is doing good. The only difference is she went from the typical pet shop atmosphere to home in a 36x18x12 cage with her little hide set at 92f and ambient set to 85f with a cool side of 82f. So obviously she seems to have liked the change as she went from a problem feeder to a bottomless pit. And I don't think its puberty since she is only about 4 months old. I guess she just likes to eat

    As for older, about what weight is a good weight to switch to weekly? When she is up to eating small rats? I know for my Red Tail boa I switched her to 1 week feedings at about 1 year old and then 2 week feedings as about 2 years old but she is kind of chubby so I probably overdid her when she was a baby but not sure what the break point is for a baby ball to adult ball is.
