No. That is incredibly not normal. Someone either lied to you about age or that snake has been severely underfed (though I would be inclined to believe that it might not have survived 3 years with as underfed as it would have had to have been to only be 2 feet long). How long have you had it?

I've had him for the entire time. From pet store to home. I feed him pretty much weekly but there are times that I skip a week or so :\ I'm trying to get on a better schedule. Such as weekly. I feed him adult mice and he takes them with no problem.
That is not a 3 year old ball python, you were lied to at the petstore. To me that looks like a 3-7 month old ball python. Either way it doesn't look bad at alland looks fairly healthy from the picture provided.
