    Im not sure how helpful these are, but you can see his neck and spine. If you need more, I’ll send more."

    From what I can see he looks to have normal weight. I suspect you are trying to over-feed him, thinking he should be bigger & eating more
    than what is realistic for his age & size. A better shot of his body would help, but I think mostly this is a perception issue on your part, and
    packing excessive weight on a snake is no better for them than it is for us. I'm sorry the feeding chart didn't show up (I was afraid of that),
    but it's all over this site & you need to refer to it.

    Feeding chart is in this thread:

    Thank you so much. Should I worry about him only being slightly over 200 grams and almost a year old? I’ve seen 9 month olds who are already 400 grams.

    Also, I’ll be sticking to adult mice every 6-7 for everyone correcting me. I apologize for having my information incorrect, I thrive to be a successful care taker for Oliver, but I must’ve gotten mixed up.
