Good New's and Bad New's

yes, I know thats why I'm here 12 months befor I wanna even try ...what I'm thinking somthing wrong with the scale OR my snake has somthing and shes going to the vet...oh and how can a 3-4 year old female be 600g when my 6 month old is 140 lol?

Posting a picture would really help.

One thing that needs to be clarified...has the snake lost significant body mass since you bought her? A drop from 1200 to 600 grams would be noticable over time to even the most inexperienced eyes.

Yeah my 8 month old is about to break 600 grams. Go buy a scale and stop guessing.

600 grams for a 4 year old is pretty bad. Vet check is in order because something isn't right or its been eating a pinkie every week.

Do you know for a fact that she has been on a scale? You don't seem to know her weight, yet you say she HAS been on a scale and weighs 600g. Then you seem to further contradict yourself by stating she weighs 3 pounds. 1 pound is roughly 450 grams. Going by your "standing on a scale" method, if you even actually did that, you should roughly have a 1350g BP.

Yet you say she looks like she DEFINITELY weighs at least 1000g, but when people tell you to actually weigh her/get her weighed, you refuse and say it has already been done. I really don't understand you.

If she is 4 years old and truly weighs 600g then there is obviously a problem. Not to mention your pastel is rather light as well for 6 months... My male normal at 2-3 months weighed over 150g.

Your story goes in several different directions. It makes absolutely no sense. Your "phone calls" with the breeder seem pretty suspicious as well. I don't mean to slam you, but you really need to start coherently thinking out what you want to say before you hit the post button.

How much does she weigh then? 600g? Go to a vet or find someone who could and wants to take care of them properly.
