its acheived by feeding the snake only once every three to four weeks (depending on age and size), and feeding it much larger prey items, like in your case larger fuzzies, or possibly larger hoppers..... i feed my larger end of the scale juvis- 1 medium to large fuzzy rat every 3.5 weeks, and they have ripper heads, and plenty of muscular condition, youd never call my snakes skinny!
Its a natural phenomena in wild pythons, it generally comes with age.
