Aww, bless her. As coxymk said, all snakes vary in weight and growth rate. The best way to tell if they are okay is by body shape. They should be 'loaf shaped'. So that if you were to cut them in half, the cross section would be the shape of a loaf. If she is eating and pooping okay then it is probably right for her 
Apollo was maintenance fed for the first year of his life so he was only 17g at a year old! He's piled on the weight since he's been eating properly though. |

| Hi, I got Basil at about 3 1/2 months and he was about 10g, although not sure how accurate my scales are for such a small amount. he was 16g last time i weighed him, he was about 4 1/2 months then so seems like we are fairly close! |
