Ball python growth question

[PythonBabes]

Is it really gradual, like it happens little by little and then your BP is just fully grown or is it a sudden type thing?

I'm soo excited for Karma to get bigger and I swore when I went to grab her to feed her last night that she was bigger. Might just be my excitement though She's been eating regularly and has only had a tiny little poop in 2 months, everybody that I ask is saying that she's using all the food for growth so there's not really any leftover.

Hope its its a really gradual thing, sorta told my mom that she wouldn't be getting much bigger>.<

Like Ashley said, it's fairly gradual. Do you have a scale that measures in grams? If not, you should invest in one. They're only about $20 and will let you monitor your snakes weight. Just as an idea (all snakes will grow at different rates), my female weighed 64g in November 2015. Now, August 2016, after 9 months of feeding her 10-15% of her body weight every 6 or 7 days, she is about 590g. Her first few months she gained fairly gradual. Now, it seems like she's growing like crazy. lol

My First BP, a Pastel Female grew slowly and gradually for the first 6 months ive had her, gained around 300 grams during that time. Then over the last 3 1/2 months grew another 300 grams. Seems like she had a grow spurt.

Meanwhile my boy, a Pastave, has grown gradually over the last 4 months. gaining around the same grams each month.
