Its a Male for one and when maintenance fed they are still healthy just grow slower. My 1.5 yr old Male VS 1.5 year old female is 1/2 of her size & weight.

We have Loki who is almost 3 and weighs 300 grams. He had parasites but was treated and cleared by an excellent exotic vet. He is a very inconsistent eater; food is offered every week regardless. He’s kept in a T10 same as the rest of them, temps and humidity monitored. Has perfect sheds every time.
Even the vet doesn’t know why he’s like he is; maybe it’s just failure to thrive.
Beautiful banana! One of my favorite morphs

There are several like this, especially Males it seems to me.. They live fine just smaller sized.
I have 1 male 9 months old that is 300g already. I have 1 female that is 395 grams already that is also 9-10 months old. The female is a lot longer than the male but same thickness. I wonder if some BPs are like dwarf retics? Some stay smaller while others over achieve in size. All 3 of mine are healthy just the girls are longer. My girl Miss Snow is 615 grams now but is not fat she is long. I am guessing (not experienced in raising BPs) that if on a healthy feeding diet they grow as they should and more/less as food is available to them? Not an expert. My boy sheds on the same day as my female that is same age as him. I have had them for 2 shedding cycles now. They both are healthy eaters. Best wishes with getting him back on track. I am sure if he eats he will grow.
