pin heads.

Pin heads nearly always come from over feeding. It can be corrected via a controled diet and the head will catch up in growth over time. While its not really considered a serious problem, over feeding of any animal isnt a healthy habit.
Would love to see any information about the head not needing to grow because of food item size. I have never seen anything that would sugest that a snake can stop its head from growing while still maintaining body growth. It is how ever known that the head of reptiles and most other animals wont responde from excellerated growth at the same pace as the rest of the body.
the origanal post said that they had a murray darling? This species dosent have as larger head as other carpet forms..In a later email you were asking about the head size of a 9 foot python. If that is the size of your python i think you will find that it may not be a murray darling as the average lenght for this species is in the 2 mtr range..
cheers paul.
