Pudgy hatchling?

I have been noticing that one of my new kids is very short and fat compared to the other two. She even seems a little squishy, which seems odd for a hatchling. She gained 3 g in a week, while the other two gained only two, and compared to them, she's extremely short. Is she within the range of normal hatchling variation?

Maybe, for a hibird. :grin01:

All snakes are different, some holdback clutchmates I have gain weight better than others. Who's to say, really. So long as it has plenty of room to move about and gets out for exercise, then its just voluptuous.

That little beauty DOES look plump. But I don't think it's anything to worry about at her age. :)

That's what I'm going to start saying about myself. Thanks guys. I won't worry about her. I'm also short and stout, so there will be no discrimination against her in my house.
