I have a very strong feeling that you are not feeding it often enough,and/or big enough meals. Make sure the prey is large enough to see a very noticeable bulge in their mid-section afterwards, but not so big they cannot get it down, or can BARELY get it down. This takes some experience to be able to tell exactly what is a good optimum-sized meal, and what is really too small. Many people just aren't really aware of just how much a snakes jaws can expand and easily consume a prey item. Just make sure with good-sized meals, the snake has access to mid 80 floor temps in ONE side of the enclosure only. This means you may need to adjust things like heat mat placement, and ventilation holes, etc..



Offer the snake a good sized meal similar to the pics below about every 5 days, and you will see a big difference in the snake's growth.
