Just thought I'd ask your opinions of Sonny's size
He hatched very early June last year
He's 52cms ish and 50g :)
Is this ok or does he need a diet?
Thanks

Posted - 04/03/2012 : 11:43:52 We have the same problem with Jake. He's pretty much nearly 4 foot long but he doesn't have very much in the way of girth like all the others I have seen on here. The bloke at the local pet shop reckons it's because he is a she?! But I don't know whether he's just saying that? I'm sure he will fatten out soon once he's stopped growing lengthways! |

Posted - 04/03/2012 : 09:13:25 Zeus was born mid September 2011, not sure of length but roughly 40cm and weighs 20g. Morse is slightly younger, October hatch I think, much smaller, prob only about 35cm long and only weighs 7g. I worry about Morse loads, but take loads of reassurance from posts off here regards snake weights and growth. As long as they are eating, pooing and shedding ok I try not to worry. |

Posted - 03/03/2012 : 20:17:35 All grow at different rates and all :) I wouldn't worry too much about them being overweight whilst they're still growing mind, they got a lot of growing to do after all! |

Posted - 03/03/2012 : 20:13:36 I was a little worried he was small for his age |
