I just recieved what is supposed to be a 5 year old male western hog. Hes about 11 inches long and a little over 3/4 of an inch fat. The person who gave him to me feeds him two pinks a week. Is it possible that he has had his growth stunted by being fed small prey items? ANd if so has anyone ever had any experiences bringing them back up to size. Ive never had anything stay this small all of my snakes seem to get real fat fast and grow nice and big.
