Size and weight all depend on your snake, husbandry and feeding schedule. If the snake was small when you got it, it may stay small... if it is under fed it will stay small... Too many factors to say whether a snake is big or small.. What matters is that the snake is growing, and is healthy :o) Get a scale and check it’s weight after each poop... before feeding This would be called an "Empty Weight" |

I’m not trying to get an exact size or comparison. I was only asking cuz he didn’t get any bigger or even shed for the first four months even with feeding him once a week. That was all. |

Quote: I was only asking cuz he didn’t get any bigger or even shed for the first four months even with feeding him once a week If it’s not shedding, it’s not growing...
Snakes shed when they "out grow" theirskin... like kids with shoes.. they need new one every month or so - LoL What size prey are you offering? Should be slightly larger than the girth (widest part of body), some say 1.5 time the girth... mine was fine with same size, but like I said, if it’s not growing, you may want to up the prey size... or feed every 5 days... I have read some where on here that some feed every 5 days, up to a year old. If it hasn’t shed in 4 Months, you probably need to up prey size. |

I am not to concerned on the sex. I don’t intend to mate him/her. So it doesn’t really matter to me either way. |
