You used AxesGrid again, not Grid. AxesGrid implicitly applies an
aspect='equal' to the subplots. This means that a unit of distance on the
x-axis takes the same amount of space as the same unit of distance on the
y-axis. In your example, the x axis goes from 0 to 25, while the y-axis
goes from 0 to 8. When aspect='equal', the y-axis will then be about a
third the size of the x-axis, because the y-limits are about a third the
size of the x-limits.
