10 months is 2 months short of a year... there is No way to tell how ld Any snake is by looking at it!!!

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 have had Gacy for 11 months.

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.

Popping works just fine, but she might be a little too large for that now, especially if it is your first time.

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.

He is growing fine now. I feed him Fuzzies. Gets fed once a week.

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.
