is that an empty weight?
i think that depends on how well they've been feeding?
to put it this way:
when my royal was 8months old, 50cm long(bearing in mind he hadnt been feeding well, was dehydrated and generally in a bad state) he weighed 100g and that wasnt an empty weight either!- i was told by Blackecho that he weighed little more than a hatchling....
so, yours could be quite young, or was a bad feeder at some point...?
only 3ish months later and he now weighs 160g empty so it's improving :) |
