So, hypothetically... () say you were getting a ball python that was already 5 years old and only the size of a baby. How would you go about bulking it up and bringing it up to size? (Though at 5 years I'm afraid the damage may already be done. )

Would you feed more prey items on the same feeding days, feed larger prey on the same feeding days, feed the prey size its used to but more often, or any combination of those?

I'll give details on this snake after its actually IN my hands. I don't want anything to go wrong with me getting it, so I don't want to talk about it. But I'm trying to get things ready for the poor girl...
