Getting bigger faster doesn't always mean healthier. As long as they are healthy and eating well, I wouldn't try to push their weight at this point. They're still pretty young.
well i dont want to get them 50 cm and 1500 grams, cause that's just makes a fat snake, which i know it isnt healthy.
but i have for example a normal female which is about 1.8 years old and she's 1500 grams, should breed next year, and she's perfectly healthy and proportional
its just that the females are small for they're age, and i bought them like this

and the setup for these two is 45X30X10 cm tub, hot side with 32 C and cold side in room temp (about 27 C), a hide box and a water bowl. nothing too special
i know some ball pythons are a bit snappy when they are small, which the pastel female are exactly like this. i guess that when she'll grow she'll get less aggressive
thats the rack (but in this picture its with leopard geckos and not ball pythons)
