Ball Python Growth Rate: Average Weight Gain by Month

These ball python growth charts are not a formal scientific study, but a record of average weight gain per month in a group of 15 hatchlings (neonates). Each Ball Python was weighed approximately once per month, so you can compare your snake’s growth rate and see how its weight tracks against a typical ball python growth curve.

Remember snakes like people have different metabolisms and grow at different rates, there is always going to be the exception to the rule. The following chart is basically an average growth rate for this particular group of Ball Pythons / Python Regius.
