I think your under feeding them, a year and a female has only gained 100 grams? Just saying but you should feed bigger/more food more often :/

Id have to agree.

I'd also say they are getting underfed. But to whose standards? I wouldn't say you've harmed them by feeding them less than accepted standards by any means, they are just slender snakes who will take longer to reach maturity.

Track a wild ball pythons progress and i'm sure the don't grow nearly as fast as CB's do.

I'd suggest feeding a bit bigger or a bit more often until they get up to maturity size, by then you can scale back the meals, as they will not need to eat as often at maturity.

Awesome collection by the way. I really like the first normal and the lemon blast, nice looking snakes. The last normal is also pretty cute.

I think you've got a lovely collection. I started mine 8m ago, and they're my babies. I've got'em ranging from 17g to 1240g. My baby baby, Bob, was about 160g when I got her, and she's a cow now at just over 600g.
