I have a 6 month old that has just reached 500g, in fact all my 08's are heavier than your '07.
They do all grow at different rates, but 340g for a 2 year old is quite light. |

As far as I'm aware she hatched May 07, going off her length (2 3/4 feet) does it sound right?
By the way she has just pooed, not sure if this makes much of a difference. |

| I would bet (if she didn't spend too much time on a maintenance diet in a pet shop) that she was a May '08 rather than a May '07. |

She's about 3 foot long now, would that tie in with an 08? |

There is no 'should' really, they can vary so much.
Somewhere between 20g and 60g per month would be a rough guess.
So a 12 month old could vary from 240g to 720g (or even more in extreme cases) and still be healthy.

If you take my rough estimate of 20-60g per month the range for a 7 month old would be 140g-420g (It is only very rough, but would seem fine).
Personally I move onto Rat Weaners at about 200g. |
