Do balls come in different shapes and sizes?

This is an odd question, but do balls come in different shapes and sizes? I.e. short and fat, long and skinny? Just wondering because I have a baby ball python that seems very healthy, never misses a meal, but he's long and skinny compared to other ball pythons, although he has a nice round body shape. He's 22 inches long and just over 100 grams (according to the crappiest scale ever). I don't trust the scale but I see him every day and he just seems kind of 'skinny' compared to other balls.

As a side question, since I don't want to start two threads, and I know it's probably been covered before; I currently have two frozen hopper mice that are way too small for him, but I figured I'd feed them off instead of wasting, and I was going to give him both of them this week. Should I feed them both on the same day, or split them up?

I'm probably just crazy, but he just doesn't seem as plump as other BPs I've seen. Here are some pictures of him (: His name is Norman!

Here he's in a heart shape, saying hello to everyone!

He looks fine and healthy to me, usually my babies won't start filling out until they get some size on them. My males usually stay on the leaner side (a lot of males have a leaner body type anyway), the females will start to chunk out pretty quickly. It's normal.

I'd feed both smaller feeders together on one feeding day, if he'll take two.

And for body type, here's two examples:

Male, around 1k grams:

Female, around 1200 grams (in blue):

Daybreaker has it right on. And your snake looks perfectly healthy as far as size/girth. When feeding 2 prey items I usually offer the second mouse just a couple minutes after the first mouse is successfully all the way down in the stomach. I usually get a strike that way.

Yes. Snakes come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Just like any other living organism on the planet. :)
There are snakes ranging from fat short ones to long skinny ones as well.

Your boy is the perfect length to weight ratio in my opinion!
He looks good.
Males tend to be leaner than the females. I have breeder males that never really look chunky no matter how much I feed them.

ditto males seem slender-er for the most part
