He does have a slightly funky shaped head, but I don't see why he wouldn't make it. Unless the head doesn't grow, or the size is an indicator of brain damage, I would say he might just be fine. Just a little funny looking. Like many of us keepers

Is that a woma? Cause my woma has a tiny head too!

You might be a ball python fanatic if you subconsciously convert the price of virtually everything in to units of piebald ball pythons

I looked at my male Woma. He has a slightly smaller head too. His nose is shorter than the yellowbelly I have of the same age. Interesting.
