Is it a big Male?

Hallo

I was wondering, if the male I have(Western Hognose)is a big male.

He is about 58 cm. long and he weighs 169 gr. before eating.

Is that normal??

He is 3 1/2 years old.

I would say typical. I have and have had males that are 16-18 inches long and thick enough to take a large mouse. I've had more that are slightly longer but thinner and feed best on hoppers or small mice.
