    Short answer: yes

    Long answer: as long as you're feeding your snake appropriately sized meals at regular intervals, and not attempting to power feed, you're not likely to run into problems.

    for a little comparison: Strudel has been packing on about 80-100g a month regularly since I got her. Serket pokes along behind at 30-50g because she's persnickety and will refuse food if her everything isn't exactly right (little butt head) I've had them both since February and they've gone from the recorded arrival weights 157g to 1002g for Strudel, and 181g (I think) to 710g for Serket as of about a week ago. That's just two snakes. If you got a bunch of others in the same age range and put them all together, you'd see even more variation. Just keep doing what you're doing and observing and your snake should balance out fine.
