Well - i'm not neccisaerly worried about her weight - but a fredind of mine has a royal - and it's twice the weight of my snake and only 4 months older!
My royal Rosie was 180g when i weighed her at the beggining of the month.
She just looked really thin compared to this other one! |

Nothing to be worried about, what are you feeding it?
At that weight I'd be giving a small Rat Weaner or a Rat Fluff every 5 days. |

| Don't take this the wrong way, but I'd say that was food for a hatchling. |

| My royal is definately underweight, I weighed him a couple of weeks ago and the scales said around 125g and he's supposed to be a yearling! The scales were rubbish kitchen ones but he is too thin. I'm feeding him every five days on med mice that seem huge, its a wonder how he eats them. The shop was feeding him tiny mice and he did have mites so these could be factors. I hope he starts to pack on the pounds now he's better. I'll start getting him on rats over the next 2 weeks aswell. |
