i am no expert on it, but any animal i have had that was injured seemed to slow down on their growth, but just off the top of my head thinking about it, a snake with a broken spine would be harmed more following more suggested feeding schedule while it was healing, so there is the need to reduce the meal size to sustain the animal while it heals, thus slowing its growth rate. if the animal is healed fully, i would not see any issue trying to return it to a more "standard meal size. my male spider mojave is the tiny one weighing in today at 140g full after a adult mouse on monday. which he took easily.
