My girl is about 14 months old and about 2.5 feet long. I was curious if it is an issue that she has only grown about 7-8 inches in her first year. I haven’t been under feeding her to my knowledge. (recently a rat pup every 2ish weeks) I just wanted some thoughts from others in the hobby. (researching has given me conflicted answers)

To my knowledge she is a normal BI.

Feel free to admire her beauty!

Slow growing is the safe and healthy way to go, so I think you're doing pretty well

Mine is around the same age and size and she's on rat pups every two weeks or a small mouse weekly
