I've got a young male red blood python. He used to have that typical chunky blood look. Today we went to hold him after not really seeing him for a few days, and I swear he's about 6 inches longer and almost as thin as a ball. It seems like he's bigger every time we see him! Is this normal or is his relative slimness a sign I should be feeding him a lot more? He gets one small rat a week.

Hey I've noticed these growth spurts also, I've been doubling up on feeding or even gone up a size on rats.It seems like it doesn't even put a bump on them, but you can definately tell when they are putting on length.
