Hatchlings in the 50's aren't unusual. Admittedly, most will exceed 76 at 6 months. I have a male GHI mojave that hatched out at 50 grams and was not an enthusiastic feeder, it took him 9 months to hit a 100 grams. He's 18 months old now and still a shade under 300, but healthy in every way. Still not the best feeder, obviously, but I don't worry about him at all. That's just the way it goes sometimes.

but, to OP, I wouldn't worry about this. if it's an accurate weight, it was likely maintenance fed and/or a light feeder. Get the snake feeding regularly and it'll probably be up to size in no time. And if it's a light feeder, so be it as long as it feeds with some regularity.
