Heya,
Anyone got any ideas on a good healthy weight for an adult male hoggy? Mines coming up to a foot and 3 quaters, and around 100 grams, doesn't look over weight, but hes still putting on weight! No idea about a good weight for them - for every other snake, lizard and amphib species I have, there is guidline info, but no-one seems to know for hoggies!
Any thoughts anyone?
Cheers,
Josh |

| I have a het albino male, he is 14 months old and 120grams. Males don't tend to get much bigger than 200 - 250 grams so your male is at a nice healthy weight I would say. |

Both of my males are about 3 years old and they're quite small compared to some others - only about 110g each. But they are definitely not underweight, so yours sounds fine.
I wouldn't worry about him getting too fat - hoggies very rarely do, and you might find that he decides to go on hunger strike at some point during his life, so it's a good thing if he has a bit of weight in reserve. |
