Smallest "full grown" snake ?

:shrugs: I swear my snake doesn't want to grow any longer.She seems to be getting thicker,but if her length has changed,,I would guess not more than an inch in the last 5 or 6 months.I would guess her at almost 14 months old.Not sure how much she weighs,,but about 30" to 33" long.
Whats the deal ?
 
They sometimes go thru periods where they slow down, but at 14 months she's no where near finished growing. 30" at only a year old is quite large. That's usually more like what my snakes are at almost 2. How much are you feeding this gal and how often?
 
She has been on a pretty normal feeding schedule.I just bumped her up to 2 med.size mice (19-20 grams a piece)every 8 days.Last night was her second feed of 2,,and she seems to be doing fine at this pace.
I think she is over due for a shed.I'm pretty sure she has dropped off the once a month shedding.Why would this be ??
 
Adult snakes (although she's not adult) only shed about once every 3 months. As growth slows, they get longer in between sheds....It's not unusual. My yearlings are eating hoppers not two medium mice, so either your early feeding schedule was more often, or you have a steroid snake :)
