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.)

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!)

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

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.
