Tail thickness question

I have gotten a new hatchling ball python a few days ago, and I'm sure it's nothing but my other two pythons have a smooth taper from their vent to their tail while this female has a sort of abrupt thinning right at her tail (her body being much bigger than her tail). I've heard this can be an indicator of obesity in balls, but she's just a hatchling, so it seems unlikely she'd already be obese. Should I hold off in feeding her for a week or two or continue feeding her on a 5-7 day schedule?

Sounds like she maybe be about to take a dump. :)

Hah! Must be a big dump, never noticed much of a difference in my others, but maybe I just never paid attention until now!

They don't call it a sausage butt for nothin. Lol

Well Lesser and Butter are virtually the same gene I'm fairly certain. Well if you ever want some blue eyed Lucy's, I'm your man! Lol
