Tiny-ass head syndrome?

I've gotta not be lazy and get a pciture of Lilee right after she eats. Or maybe her with her mouse- it's so funny.

My amel had a small looking head for a while. As he matured it wasn't so apparent. He is a Big-ass snake though so his head would appear to be tiny-ass.

At the other end of the spectrum, we have the not-quite-so-tragic tiny-ass tail syndrome:

I'll bet that tiny ass produces some big ass poops whenever you hold him though!!! My little kingsnake can produce some big messes...
 
Ok, left this thread for a while, probably good, its gotten funny. There really are some strange-ass animals out there, loving the toads!

On a serious note, I got her as my first snake from a (now been criticised shop/breeder). She was tiny when I got her so I've had her since she was just a little toot. However, when I said she looked small considering the time of year I bought her I was told she was a late '05...it may have been a shifty comment....who knows...shes healthy now, just wish I was the one keeping her!! Shes my favourite snake!
 
In addition to Mr. Toad's tiny-ass head syndrome, upon further inspection, he has a much worse case of tiny-ass arms!!

I didn't read all of the responses, but TAHS can be caused by feeding to small of meals. The idea is that you feed them the largest meal they can handle, the meal will stretch the muscles and tendons in and around the head, making it grow larger.
 
your snake looks fine to me It's head looks normal . I have seen way smaller heads in some corns. I think that ypu see bigger heads in wild corns, where they strech them out more eating larger meals in the wild I find people baby there snakes in the tiny size meals they feed them.
 
As far as I know, shes been getting the meals she should. So far on this thread, its been overfeeding and underfeeding. lol.
 
Lila, my candidate for tiny-ass head syndrome, appears to also suffer from tiny-ass feeding container syndrome! How'd she get so big???

I know the feeling! XD It's not until you notice that they have to coil to fit in their feeding container that you notice they've gotten any bigger!
