    Fast Grower ?

    so i have a female pastel who last time i weighed her was like 3 months ago and she weighed around the mid 600s so lose to 2 months ago i noticed she sheds very fast what i mean is after she sheds like a week to 2 weeks later i see that she is starting to get a pink belly then like in a week she sheds again. like one example just 2 weeks ago she just finished shedding and now she has a pink belly again and i know she is going to shed soon again in these past 3 months she has shed her skin like 5 times. she is a late 08 girl who i feed like a small to medium rat every week or whatever i can get my hands on she never refuses any meal let it be rat or mouse dead or alive . so has any one ever heard of this before cause i have other ball pythons and none of them do this. hope you guys can help thanks.

    I got a female I traded to a "friend" back about 2 months ago.
    She is 3 years old...and was 500 grams.
    In the 2 months I have had her, she has gained over 600 grams and is not close to 1200.

    All I did was -gasp- FEED HER.

    I'll never trust this dude with another snake...
