Corn snakes, like just about any animal, can have different growth rates, even when the same sized animals are fed the same amount of food.



It's possible that you got a "runt" but there's really no way of knowing that. I feed baby snakes more frequently than once a week, especially in their first 6-9 months of life. If the anery is processing (digesting) it's food in 3 to 4 days, I'd feed it more often.



Also, some corn snakes are genetically smaller than others. Depending on the locality of the snake's ancestors, one corn make never reach the length of another - even if on the same feeding schedule.
