"If you feed him smaller meals then he will grow smaller, right?"

Someone at work asked me to "take" his baby retic because he doesn't want it anymore. I told him I couldn't because of the size (I simply don't have the ability to take care of a 14 foot python) and he asked me this question. I know obviously if you feed less it will stunt its growth but my question is if you feed (lets say it's eating medium rats) it weaned rats every week would you hurt the animal and make it "smaller?"

I don't think it works that way but I could be very wrong!
