Python Reticulatus Wallace Progression!

Yeah guess it just depends on how you feed them, perhaps the smaller ones I've seen the owners have just been feeding them less from the get-go and that's why they're so much smaller.

River is actually currently in another thin gangly teenager phase as she recently hit another growth spurt. She'll go months of building nothing but weight and girth and then explode in length and look like a piece of rope for awhile. I'm feeding her heavier than I do my boas but she still doesn't need all that much food herself. She doesn't get antsy and grows just fine the way I've been feeding her. I didn't put her on larges until she was 6'+ but she did quickly make the jump to colossals. Now, I know she doesn't have a whole lot of girth right now because she's 8' and the colossals leave a gigantic lump for 3-4 days, when they'd probably leave little to no bulge under normal circumstances. Luckily the rats don't seem to drag her down as much as the rabbits. A rabbit that size and she starts looking at food with disdain after a couple meals. Lol

She has a truly low feeding response for a retic.

Yeah rabbits are much more dense so that's to be expected. I'd like to get Caesar on rabbits as that might lower his food drive for longer and maybe I can go a solid 2 weeks for him on rabbits.

And heck, i'd be happy to give River some of Caesar's food drive lol although like I said, I might have been underfeeding him this whole time.
