Here is a pic of a Burmese whom is stunted from either the previous owners she started her life out with or she is just going to be a small snake.

She was given to someone from a reptile rescue and since she is years old and has not grown they didn't want her so I now have her in my care. She eats a jumbo rat (sometimes 2) once week and so far hasn't grown since being in my care either. She is 5'2" but I am not happy with the girth size however she is heathy, eats and looks good otherwise so maybe she really just is a oddball who isn't going to grow much. Either way I love her.

This pic is to show her length. I am 5'2" and this was a few days after I got her.

Those pics make me miss my burmese.

Regarding her size, have you tried finding rabbits? I've heard snakes grow plenty fast on those.

I have asked a few knowledgeable snake persons who have seen her in person and all 3 are stumped on her size. The 2 guys have known her for quite a while as they took her from the lady who originally had her a long while ago. They have said that a jumbo rat is the largest she should be taking but I will ask some other people. She is pretty narrow in girth. Thank you for the suggestion I will ask a few more people as I can get a rabbit/however many if needed. :)

Just get rabbits the size of jumbo rats. Guinea pig might work too. They tend to be a bit fatter and I do believe from what I've heard that they take a bit longer to digest.
