Maybe because she was already of that size and it was easy for her to gain it back. I'm sure if googled something like this will pop up. I understand it's alot of weight and I was sure as heck baffled at this as well. But she was 2000 grams when he bought her.
this worries me as well...a snake looses 50% of its body weight in what....a month? two months at the most? (need to account for the time it took to gain it back...you only had her 6 months)

Why on earth did you not take this animal to the vet? nor disclose such a dramatic weight loss and increase!
