Why didn't the baby Metroid evolve?

The Baby Metroid didn't evolve normally because it was removed from its native planet (SR388) and its natural diet of X-Parasites, but instead was experimented on by Space Pirates, exposing it to intense Beta-Ray energy, which caused it to rapidly grow into the massive Super Metroid (also called a "Mother") instead of progressing through Alpha, Gamma, Zeta stages. Its unique environment on Zebes, combined with the Pirate's mutation-inducing technology, warped its life cycle, making it a powerful, singular entity rather than a typical Metroid.

Why did the baby Metroid get so big?

Because the Metroid is on Zebes instead of SR388, the climate and atmosphere of Zebes let the Metroid grow to gigantic size without evolving. This would have also explained why other Metroids on Zebes during the Zero Mission did not transform.
