Is it possible that a Burmese python would only grow to that size in two years if it wasn't fed enough/had a large enough aquarium? Anyways, I'm including some photos and if anyone could let me know if they thinks this truly is a Burm, or a ball python, I would be very grateful.

I'm happy you've rescued this snake. Seriously, good job.
However, I'm unsure if this is really the time to make the jump you say you were waiting for. You couldn't tell if this was a burmese python or a ball python and didn't seem to know that the "it grows to the size of it's enclosure" is a myth. I'm not trying to be an *** but that stuff is pretty basic and giants cannot be taken lightly as much as some people feel they can be.
Be sure to do a LOT more research going forward if you plan to keep it.
