Hello,

No, that is not normal. I had a female that looked like that. I noticed it when she was a baby, but I thought nothing of it because I had never seen another indigo baby & had nothing to compare it to. When I got another baby the following year it became apparent that something was wrong.

I kept her for nearly 3 years. She grew VERY heavy but never put on any length. In fact, she was only about 38" at 3 years of age. A definite dwarf.

How old are yours? What is their size? Do they seem short & fat?
The dwarf I mentioned reminded me of a black ball python.

Eric
