This is reassuring for me to read as well, as I just acquired a new BP (who is also a male Butter Mojave, incidentally), and while he's exactly what I was hoping for in every other respect, my one concern is that he's quite small - only about half the weight of my other boy, despite being just a month younger, and noticeably slimmer. For your Neptune, did you still feed him on the exact same routine as your other snakes, or did you need to make any adjustments to help him "catch up" (e.g. feeding every 4-5 days instead of every 7)?
