Yep... he was just a little guy, but my rescued pastel male was around 3 months old when I saved him and only 44g! That was in January, and at the start of June he weighed in at 260g!

Ignorant people often either go with something they heard in general (like only feeding a python once a month) or from a pet store employee who also knew nothing. And since the snake stays 'healthy', they don't think anything is wrong with what they're doing.

I hope that girl starts filling out now that she's in the proper care!
