From what I understand every snake is different. Each snake is a different size at different ages depending on feeding schedule for one and many other things that play into health and growth. I have no idea how old mine is but she is about 11 inches and 12 grams.

I feel like that sounds a little light to me. Don’t go off the deep end now. But I think you could be feeding a little bigger prey item. A rule of thumb is that the mouse should be 1 ½ times the largest diameter of the snake. It should make a bulge in the snake that takes 2 or 3 days to go away. With a snake that age, every 7 days is a good schedule. Some people would say more often but it is too hard to keep track of every five days. It’s easier to say every Friday.

I weighed my 9 mo old and he came in at 52 grams. I think I am going to up his prey size to hoppers once he gets done with this shedding nonsense... He's probably fine if he looks healthy.
