ive just weighed my snake for the first time.shes 21 inches long and weighed in at 32 grams.could anyone tell me if this is a healthy weight.many thanks
There's heaps of variation in length and size so its hard to say, really. As long as she's eating and doesn't look thin or fat, I'd say you're all good!
thanks lupi I now know my snake is deffinatly not overweight.i was more concerned she was underweight,but looking on the web has satisfied me that she is fine.
That's good then, I went through a stage of worrying about Jinx, as he seemed to grow so slowly, he is leaner than 8 but is much more active and has much better muscle tone. They do tend to make us worry for nothing :-)
Try not to worry too much about your snake's weight Jason, although I know it's hard. As long as she is eating, drinking, pooing and growing she's fine .
Figs is right about how different snakes are, even hatchlings from the same clutch that are fed the same grow at different rates. You might find this interesting - How big should my snake be?
