Not all "pythons" are medium or large/giant size either. Look up the Antaresia family of snakes- they all stay quite small too. My 13 year old Spotted python is roughly the size of an adult corn snake now, but when she was hatched she was just a tiny thing too, maybe 10"- and spotted pythons are one of the larger pythons in this family. Actually, my spotted python wasn't much over 10" when I got her as a yearling because the breeder kept trying to force her to eat live pinkies & she wanted only f/t, so she didn't eat or grow much until she moved in with me. Anyway, most people picture "pythons" as big snakes too.
