    Ball Pythons are a heavier bodied species in general and should have some "chunk" to them. Could you post pictures of her? It's a lot easier to help if we can see what she looks like now.

    As stated they are a thick species and will have some roll-age especially when they are bent certain ways. I agree post a pic. And if the snake is overweight you can always feed less often. What is your feeding schedule now?

    She looks think to me. What's humidity at in tank? Always try to feed her a meal the size of the thickest part of her body. It's a good rule of thumb. If your still concerned a vet visit won't hurt. But to be honest mine wrinkles when it curves. Humidity and temp is up to par and eats like a monster lol. U might not have anything to worrie about.
