Well I got my Athena in Jan of this year she was 3 mo old at the time, the breeder I got her from was.... Less than reputable. She was extremely underweight, and she was behind on where she should have been length-wise. I am afraid that the months he had her being underweight may have stunted her growth permanently.

She’s almost a year old now and despite her being fed a med. mouse every 7-9 days, having a perfect enclosure set-up, she’s still only about the size of a 5-6 month old ball python.

I just switched her over to small rats (pre-killed) for better nutrition and in hopes of getting her weight/length up (but I am not increasing the feeding frequency or anything like that though, that would be unnecessary).

Is there anything else I can do? Is switching to rats going to help or is she doomed to being a little tiny lol? I have this horrible fear that it may be my fault despite doing everything right.
