He has a progression post if you want to see pictures
    Holy crap! He really weighs 9 pounds at only 2 years old? Is that normal? I don't know if i'm under feeding or if you're over feeding, but of the 6 Bloods and Short Tails that I have, 5 of them are 2 years old and none of them are anywhere near that size. My 3 year old female Blood isn't even anywhere near that heavy. I just threw her on the scale and she currently weighs 2,873 grams (6.33 pounds). I just recently started feeding her large size rats and since then i've only been feeding her every 14 days. As slow as their metabolisms are, i'm afraid to feed her a large any more often than that. All of the other ones are getting a medium rat every 7 days. Prior to that, they all got a small rat every 7 days and before that they would get a weanling every 7 days. I think I had them all on rat pups every 7 days at the size they were when I first got them. All of my Bloods and Short Tails (except for one with regurgitation issues) look nice and fat and I can only see a hint of their spines like you're supposed to. Other than that I don't know what else to go by...
