    Is this much spine showing normal..?

    Does she look skinny at all? So far she has eaten twice in about two weeks, had a large urate and a large smeary poo.. just cause everybody else's BP's that are younger than her seem more plump.

    heres pics:

    While she could put some weight on, I wouldn't say that she was underweight to the point of being concerned.

    Getting her to eat appropriately sized rodents on a regular schedule (every 5 days or every 7 days is what I would recommend) will help her put some weight on.

    Are you 100% sure it's a female?

    I'm not, actually. But I trust HDI reptiles that she is... honestly I do not fell confortable trying to find out myself, I might bring her over to the vivarium to check.
