5 month old weighs too little?

My 5 month old is at 10g and it's worrying me. I'm assuming she was about 2 months when I got her, but I could be wrong. She's a bit over a foot.

If you think she's too skinny any tips to get her weight up is welcomed!
 
She doesn't look skinny at all. Good weight to her. What size pinkies are you feeding, and how often?
 
3g pinky every 7 days. I've been tempted to change it to 5 days mainly because I was scared she was skinny. lol I am also tempted to do 2 pinks every 7 days, but I'm worried she won't take the 2nd pinky. I haven't had a small corn for so long, so it's like I'm starting all over lol
Thank you so much for your help!
 
I would bump the feeding up to every 5 days if you want her to grow faster. But as I said, her body condition looks *great*.
 
My little guy is about 7 months old now. I've had him about 3 months. He has grown about 10 inches in length and doubled in weight in the past 3 months.

When I got him he weighed about 40 grams and was 19 inches long. (That was at 4 months old.) Now he is almost 30 inches long and last time I weighed him he was 95 grams. He is not at all fat, but he is a healthy growing boy.

Some snakes just get bigger and grow faster than others......... just like people!
