Hiya my royals 3 months old and I got him about 6 weeks ago and he weighed exactly 100g. I weighed him a couple of days ago and he now weighs 115g. It sounds a little on the light side to me but I'm fairly new to all this so I could be wrong. I'm sure someone more experienced than I will be along shortly :)

I've been told before he's a little below average but he's a great feeder only missed 3 feeds and 2 of them were because he was getting ready to shed and the other was because he was recently in a new viv. I just worry that he's unhealthy or something! But thank you

Hi, this is a table of weights and ages compiled by Blackecho -

But all snakes are different, just like people; there are big and small, and your guys sound to be going on fine.
