^ This. If the seller was still only feeding one rat pup per week (size equivalent), the snake would still be undersized. That doesn't mean he won't make it up with a vengeance if given the opportunity. I picked up a CL pinstripe female that was 3 years old and 900g. She was only being fed one rat every two weeks. Six months and one small rat every week later, and she has topped 1600g!
