so one of my babies that i got last march is only 16 grams and 15 inches. she eats 1 pinky every week. I tried to get her to eat 2 but she regurged one. so i haven't tried it again. she did one period of 10 days of no eatting due to her having mites and not feeling good. but that was last july (got that taken care of with a quickness) My other baby Jone's that was the same size and everything is now 21 inches and 31 grams.

nothing seems to be wrong with her she is just so tiny compared to every one else. including other babies i have gotten after her (which have now out grown her).

Does any one else have a tiny bit?

She n I "argue " about when she gets fed. I have tried to get her on a 5 day schedule. She will do it for 2 times n then she refuses til day 7 the next time if I'm lucky. So I stopped the 5 day n just have her on every Saturday. Which she will eat. But I worry about her being so small compared to every one else.
 
Some snakes are just slower growers. My Nautley is an 09 model, but she's only about 200 grams at 3 years old and she eats with a vengeance. She's a 'linebacker' as well, so is a thick, short snake which doesn't help the impression that she's small.
