Putting on Weight ?

[Leon]

I was wondering how long everyone thinks it takes to put on 500-600 grams on a 1000 gram Female -
She's easily rats on a weekly schedule -
Two Small Rats - Each in the 60-70 gram range.

i'd guess somewhere in the 5-6 month range. adam recently posted this:

... Once they hit 600 - 700 grams they get bumped up from chubs to what I call "small small" rats. 40-50 gram range. They always take 1 per week and sometimes 2 but usually never more. That's 400 grams of rats per month. If they can retain 100 grams of that, then I'm cooking with gas!! .... 100 grams growth per month should be doable.

I thought I read him saying that, but I wasn't completey positive.
Thanks Mlededee.

50-100 grams a month is good, remember it is up to each snake though. some feed like crazy while some just take their time. they are all different and some fed the same amount will grow differently.
