Hello, I have a 6 year old female Oreo (Anery type B morph) corn snake. I have been noticing for awhile that for her age, she isn't very big. She is a little over 3 feet long, but not very wide. She currently is enclosed in a 40 gallon tank and eats 1 - 2 medium mice once a week. Her tank is heated up between 80-85 degrees fahrenheit. She has never had a eating, shedding, or other health problem.

From looking at other snakes her age and even younger, she hardly reaches their size in width. Is there something wrong with my girl, or is just her genetics? If I am not doing something right, please let me know.

The below picture was taken today during feeding
