How much weight gain per week?

Officially Corn Obsessed
Hey guys, just wondering how much weight gain is normal for a 3/4 month old corn? Because onyx is putting on about a gram a week, is this a lot? Thanks guys
 
That sure is a lot! There's a lot of ATP going to work in those baby cells, they can grow like weeds! Are you weighing it empty? As long as the baby is passing food before you are feeding again, I don't think anything is wrong. I've yet to see a fat baby snake.

Almost hit submit without adding the word snake, I've seen tons of fat babies.
 
Figure that a hatchling will gain about 1/3 of the amount of food he eats in weight.

[at least that's how all 3 of mine have been]

If you're feeding by the Munson plan, then you're most likely at the 1 medium to large pinky stage every 5-6 days right about now. Since those are about 3-4 grams, gaining
1 gram a week would be right on target.
