    When they have been maintenance fed to that degree, which is absurd in my opinion when it goes that far, it may take awhile to get the body functioning correctly again. That snake is going to want to eat. I don't think think I would worry too much unless the animal does not defecate normally. She is most likely going to shed a little more often until she gets caught up. I would expect that animal to be in the 800 gram range if it was fed normally.

    Keep an eye on the issue, but I am betting it takes care of itself.

    The issue that I can see that may arise with this, unless I am mistaken, is the same as power feeding. Too much rapid growth and the ailments that follow. I'll keep a wary eye on her physique.
    Yet another thing not considered with her underweight condition.
