Good weight?

MarlowAndMe · Nov 6, 2018

Marlow’s 9months old , 14” long ( small due to being in a tiny tiny viv before we adopted him a month ago) and weighed for first time today
242g is that an ok weight for his age?
He’s in shed hence his look haha

Can you sit him in a larger tub or box then weigh him ?

…. unfortunately if his tail is resting on the benchtop , the weight indicated is lower than his actual FULL body weight.

By comparison my gang at 10 months old :
Puff (M) 311.5g
Rex (F) 329.5g
Peppa (F) 383.4g
Toothless (M) 341.3g

At 6 months old my gang were
Puff (M) was 176g
Rex (F) was 221g
Peppa (F) was 242g
Toothless (M) was 175g

He looks healthy. Kingofnobbys is right about the tail resting on the ground though. Try a large shoebox lid or similar on the scale and tare it. That's what I use for Darwin and it works well.

I just re-weighed him. I used a small box and he weighs 246grams ( that’s with boxes weight already taken off)
He’s 9.5months old and he’s 14inches long
