My ball python is small. Can it still grow normally after irregular feeding?

Question

Hello, I've had a ball python for a year now (haven't sexed it) and it seems really small compared to other bps of the same age, I'm very inclined to believe that it is because I have had a very irregular feeding pattern (once I didn't feed it for a month and a half); however I've learned from my mistake and I have now started to feed it weekly. My question is, will it resume its regular growth rate, or is the damage done and it won't grow properyly? Thank you very much in advance, Cheers

All pythons vary in eating. Most eat weekly but based on shedding and weather they can eat less often. Most pythons grow based on their enclosure. If you want to have it grow bigger try a bigger enclosure and good husbandry (substrate,lighting,water) are super important.
