Ball Python Growth
ok i feel really ignorant and stupid asking this question. ok i have an 8 month old ball python that is 32-33 inches long. it is growing rapidly but never seems to get girth. most ball pythons i see are with 6 inches of size as my 8 month old. but they have a way larger head, thick necks, and twice my baby's girth. this is my first time getting a baby and raising it because in the past i had always bought adults. well my 8 month old is so small and it doesnt seem like he is anywhere near the size of those others within the same size range. he has a girth about the size of a half dollar and his neck is very very skinny with a tiny head. so here is my main question: do ball pythons grow rapidly and then expand to get large mass, or does the mass come as they are growing. again, this is my first venture into raising a baby so im clueless as to how that works. any opinions appreciated.
