I've been away from home for the past few years. While I was gone my mother was left in charge of my Ball Python and she did not feed her consistently (every 2-3 weeks). As much as this upsets my mom is a very busy women that is working constantly. She would always forget about my snake. Anyway, now that I'm home my snake is getting the attention she needs.

So my question is:

Can underfeeding a ball python from the age of a year up untill 4 years, stunt her growth?

(She is now eating consistently, every 5 days)
