Dont take this the wrong way, but that has to be SVL, which would indicate a 14-15" TL animal.

no it doesnt it can simply be an underfed animal that has not achieved a larger size ive seen quite a few like this mainly because pet shops tend to sustain them rather than allow them to have enough to grow
