    Any time a snake weighs significantly more than expected for their stated age, I would personally wonder if it's actually older than I was told. Snakes can only grow so fast, because their digestion takes time. I'm not saying that's the case with yours, just saying that in general. Some snakes get off to a really slow start, but a seller might not want to tell a buyer that, & at this age, gender is not likely to account for a big difference in growth. But keep in mind that I do NOT raise BPs so I relate less to what their "normal weights" might be, so let's see what others think.
