Good weight to length ratio??

[AlsMom]

Finally was able to weigh Alduin for the first time today. He weighed in at 128 grams and measures 12" long, nose to tail tip.

Does this seem like a good ratio??? We've had him since August (4 months) and don't know what age he was when we got him...several months, but not many more.

Thank you!

That sounds good to me. They grow at different rates so it's hard to say for sure. It's a good idea to weigh on a regular basis and just keep a log of his weight. This way you can see the weight trends against his own past to ensure his weight is stable or increasing overall which is the more important measurement.

Thank you! Every now and again he looks kind of chunky! (Then he poops....)

That happens too =). That accounts for daily fluctuations in weight so don't worry about that too much. Just get a bunch of data and start watching the trends (Excel and Google Sheets can both overlay a trendline on your data if you graph it.
