Burmese python question

[h4t3]

nd bought a female burm about a year ago. Everything online says a yearling burm should be about 6 feet. However, this yearling is only about 4 feet. Is this something to be concerned about? Could it be a dwarf, likely to be male? normal? Any help would be appreciated.

Every animal is different. 4 ft in a year isn't abnormally small. Definitely not a dwarf though. They don't hit that length that quickly. I would consider it normal growth, just feed her and she'll grow.

Thanks for the reassurance. Everything online says yearlings could be eating large rats and this girl is still on smalls. I'm not comfortable giving an animal a large rat that's 4 feet. Thanks a lot, I appreciate it I'll let her grow in her own time.
