yearling 111grams

Hey guys so my yearling was weighed at 111 grams yesterday . I was feeding it two (what I think is big fuzzies, Maybe hoppers no sure) I just moved up in size to what looks like almost adult...like Maybe adolescent mouse. The thing I'm worried about, is although it's a bigger mouse it doesn't look like it's worth two of the other mice, so I guess, I moved up in size Cuz worried I ain't giving her enough, so now I'm effectively feeding less.....? Should I feed more?

Watch his weight and see what happens. I feed weanling mice, almost adults that weigh 16-19 grams or so, until the snake is 180-200 grams. Then I start feeding small adults, 19-21 grams. I feed those until the snake is 250-300, and then they are on medium adult mice, in the 22-26 gram range, one per feeding, one feeding every 7-10 days, going to every 14 days after the snake reaches 400 grams.

Unanswerable question. Each snake grows at their own pace. I have 3 that are all almost the same age, just over 2 years. One is 90g, one is 180g and the third is almost 800g. I have a 13 year old who is about 300g.

The biggest one was fed rats, which I think is power-feeding and makes the snake grow much faster. The littlest guy was only given one small pinky for 1.5 years when I got him, he weighed 25g. He is now on hoppers and has gained 65g in 8 months.

Thanks man. I think I am feeding mine rats, I think.,
My fuzzies are super fat compared to the bigger mice I got (Bought about a year and half worth of food in 1 go) The bigger mice, which I started her on now, are about the same fatness level as the fuzzies (or maybe hoppers) I was solely feeding her. She just moved up to one medium size mouse and one of those ridiculously fat small mice now.
