In my humble opinion, which may vary from others here, she is doing just fine. I've raised hundreds of ball pythons over the years, and many don't gain a 1000 grams in a year.



One mouse a week is good, you may want to try her on two mice a week. I had a female Ghost who would eat 15 mice at a feeding, until she switched to rats. She grew like crazy, but none of my other mouse eaters ever ate like she did.



They are all different, some are meant to be quite large, and some aren't. I answered your question because I wanted to give you some support and to let you know that she looks great and you are doing well with her. I didn't expect to have a debate over how large a snake can get in a year on mice.



If I can be of any help, you can email me anytime.
