Healthy weight for 3 1/2 year old ball python?

That´s normal for BPs to go off feed.
It can be hard to determine what weight they should be.
Signs of a good weight-
Sorta rounded triangle spine that does not stick out.
Has no trouble swallowing food (Not having to restart, snakes take forever to swallow something but any signs of struggle can be a sign.)
The neck should not be thinner than the head, they should be pretty proportional.
An eating snake is a happy snake.. and as far as I can tell, he looks to be a healthy weight.

The first part is absolutely INCORRECT. Some species of snake do have necks that are about the same size as the head. BPs are definitely NOT one of those species. A healthy BPs head is actually a good amount larger than it's neck.

And no, a snake that's eating isn't necessarily happy or healthy. Snakes are extremely good at hiding illness and many will continue to eat while sick.

Please stop spreading info if you don't know what you're talking about. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't even own your first snake do you??

OPs snake is definitely underweight, so please stop feeding people false information that can be dangerous to their animals.
