its hard to say how much he should weigh, but justin is 7 months and he weighs 72g and he is 27 inches long.

but remember all snakes are different and grow at different rates.

Awww nekko is only roughly 40g and 15" long. He eats 1 pinky every 5-6 days. Im trying to get him to eat small fuzzys but at the min hes having none of it. Ive just brained one and left it for him to see if that will encourage him to eat.

Aslong as nekko is not loosing weight drastically there is no need to worry how much he/she weights. he/she will loose weight and put on weight after feeds and poo's so dont worry. everything is cool lol

I did try 2 pinkys but he ate 1 and left the other. The pet shop told me to just try the fuzzy. He will eat it when hes ready. Was just worried about the weight especially because of the huge differance in yours. Ill try not to worry. Lol.

Falcor is 7 months old today and last week weighed 39g so I wouldn't worry. I think Lokis about 7 and a half/8 months and he weighed 56g last week.
They all grow at their own rate,a bit like us humans really!

don't worry about the weigh difference, just as everyone else has said they all grow at different rates.
