my little anery just isn't growing at all i try every thing i am curently feeding her 2 pinkies a week she eats em and every thing goes fine but she hasn't grown at all i have had her for almost 3 months now and she is yet to shed. any ideas to help her grow?
 
I wouldn't worry too much right now. It's winter, and most snakes slow down and decide not to grow. My snakes for example usually shed every month, but in the winter, they shed once every 3-4 months. They also eat less, 2 small fuzzies compared to 2 hoppers for my yearling.

If she's active, skin looks good, and is generally healthy, I'd just wait till summer and let her grow then (some snakes grow like weeds over the summer months. My yearly grew 6 inches in something like 5 months).

If your snake is lethargic, has strange poop, looks dehydrated, then I'd take her to a vet and get her checked out. Parasites are most common cause of a snake not growing.

hope that helps.

well thats true but every snake is different my amel has grown 5 inches since i got her in november she has out grown my other snake that i have had for since july.
 
I've noticed this too. Some snakes have gotten so domesticated that winter "doesn't exist" to them. And they breed and do everything they need to fine without brumation. But do realize that this "slow down" phenomenon does exist.
