67 Gram female supposedly born in 2011?

My friend has a pinstripe female that was supposedly born in December of 2011. The peoples excuse was, ''We like to slow grow our snakes'' Seems fishy to me. What do you guys think?

I guess it could be possible. Although if it's eating every week, I'd assume it would be bigger.

I had a rescue that was about the one year mark and close to this weight. She was a non / poor feeder in the pet store system (over crowded generic enclosure and over worked under experienced staff) mostly was to blame for her failure. It is absolutely not normal for a snake that age to be that weight. I would suspect parasites and /or imperfect keeping (feeding schedule or husbandry hard to say) something is off.

Slow grow or no grow their snakes?

That is not right. I hope he can turn her around.

There is slow to grow, and then these is blatant neglect, which is what they are doing. I'd stay far away from anyone who deliberately starves a hatchling like that. What jerks.

My Butters were hatched in November of 2011 and they are all at or over 400 grams as of Friday. That poor baby was either grossly neglected or hatched last month!
