Snake Growth

Hello,
Got my new baby the end of August. She had been at the pet store since February, so I'm thinking she will soon be a year old? When I got her, she was around 21g, which I thought was a little small for her age. At the time, she was only eating single pinkies. I have since switched her to fuzzies, and am feeding her every 6 days. When I weighed her last night, she was 33g. Is this good growth? Will she ever catch up? Thanks!

I should also add that she's only shed once since I got her, and that was on Sept. 13!!

Here is the Munson plan, which I find a bit on the aggressive side for some corns. I scale back to the smallest snake weight range and prey item size for most. Most of my baby corns shed every 25-40 days.

Thanks, I think I'm feeding her right where she needs to be then. She's still so small though!
