Hi guys just a quickie my digital scales arrived today so i weighed all the snakes though im not really sure whats considered to be a healthy weight range or what its based on i dont want to over or under feed my snakes so i kinda hoped if i posted the ages and weights if you guys would be so kind to advise me accordingly thanks in advance
All snakes are fed every 5 days Eddie eating hoppers Eve large pinkies Barl newborn pinkies and Artemis small mice
I dont know Eddies DOB only that hes "last years hatchling" so im guessing hes around a year old hes around 20 inchs in length and weighed in at 46 grams
Eve is 3 months old and weighing in at 16 grams
Artemis i bought recently as a yearling and shes weighing in at a whopping 106 grams
Barls 6 weks old and weighing in at 9 grams |

When i bought Eddie the rep shop did say that i should expect him to pile on weight over the next few months hes definately bulked up a fair whack since i got him i only wish id got some scales sooner so id known his starting weight |

dont worry bout it, we had a yearling that was tiny it fed and shed then went on a massive growth spurt. |

Plissken is 4ft long and 480grams. He is 30 months old and has 1 jumbo mouse a week.
Aguna is 13.5 inches and 9 grams. She is just over 2 months old, and on 1 pinkie every 5 days.
Iara is 15.25 inches and 11 grams. Same age and feeding scedule as Aguna.
I have no idea if these weight/lengths are good or not, but it looks like they may be..... |

It depends on the snake. Romeo hatched june 10, and hes not much heavier than your eddie. Hes a good length. Eats well etc. Thats just how he is. A twig lol. Hes the perfect "shape" etc so hes not underweight. |

When i bought Artemis i said to the breeder about her being around the same age as Eddie and him only being half her size and he said its a lot to do with how well they start off feeding etc i dont know how true that is but also watched a video experiment that snakebytes tv did with 3 different hacthlings corns and the differences between them was quite surprising the alrgest was almost double the size of the smallest |

Eddie must be younger than that or is just a slow grower. Mine is a June (ish) hatchie, is 19in and only 20g.
Tho i think lengths and weights varies from snake to snake? |
