    I tend to grow my snakes a bit slower than many in the hobby. My male BP is about 2 1/2 years old and a bit over 1,100 grams. He's healthy and in great proportion though. He's got the tell tale triangular shape, solid muscle.

    But like Deb said, there's a LOT of variables that effect growth rate, so as long as your boy is maintaining a good shape keep doing what you're doing
    How often do you feed them once they’re around this weight? I thought maybe I should space it out more to once every 10 days rather than 7 maybe? But he’s always got his head out by the 6th day ready to eat again so I’m so conflicted haha. Sorry I’m a new bp owner just want to make sure I’m not stressing or over feeding him.
