I weighed and measure both Luna andBellatrix for the first time last night and I'm a bit worried. Both of them eat and poo and shed fine, but...

Bella: two years old approx, 30 inches in length approx, 102g
Luna: one year old, 24 inches in length approx, 47g

(Sorry about the metric/imperial crossover)

Should I be worried? I know they don't all develop at the same rate, but do i have an overweight snake or and underweight snake? They both look OK so I'm not sure. (Recent pics are elsewhere round here.)

OK. Yeah she looks fine and she's definitely got plenty of appetite and there's plenty of poo too *sigh* She must just be a wee thing. Awwww.

i wouldnt worry - i think it was eeji said that its more of a visual thing to see if they are overweight or underweight.. as long as they are shedding ok, eating and pooping ok and active then i wouldnt worry too much

Maybe Luna is just a small snake. If they both seem healthy I can't see an obvious problem....

(Feel free to correct me tho!)

PS Bella is on small mice every six days, Luna on big fuzzies every five days
