Today I went out and bought some scales so I could weigh Kaa for the first time since ive had him. He weighed in at 220g, but when i bought him at the end of october the reptile keeper told me he was around a year old, so i dont actually know exactly how old he is in months...
But by looking at the sticky weight-age topic thingy the average weight he should be is around 550g considering his age.
He hasnt eaten in a while. So should I be worried?

Hi, he looks pretty ok to me - perhaps a trifle triangular on his back but could have been just the camera angle.


Agreed and agreed.

The not eating is normal at this time of year - Shahi, who is a cf10, born apr/may, refused again today, he seems to eat about every fortnight at present ... they are all different!

And as to weight, my Saada, who came from a very good home, I think, is just a tiddler! She's cf09 so she must be at least 18 months, and the last time I weighed her she was the same as Shahi - 400gm. She's a bright, greedy, healthy little thing too, not a thing wrong with her ...they are all different!

doesnt look underweight, i see what u mean about him looking triangle shaped, but he doesn't really look underweight, looks nice and healthy
although the expert will be alond shorty (BE) to speak his mind

Okay, well by going by what you've said, I think he looks underwieght?
Ive got some pictures to see if you think the same...
All opinions and advise to help welcome

what does he look like
BE made a shape thing to tell if your snake is underweight, ok, or overweight, if hes underweight, his body will be a trianlge shape if you took a cross sectio, if he is fine, he will be a kinda square/hexagon shape, and if he is overweight he will be a circle shape
can you see his spine?
