    Is she fat?

    How do i know if my bp is getting too fat? I know theyre supposed to be stocky, but other than my girl, ive never seen a bp (other than a baby) in person. Can i tell purely by weight?

    Look for scale seperation, white lines in between scales, Most will fast before becoming "obese"


    Or when your Ball python looks like a Blood Python

    They should definitely be stocky and look a bit fat. When you think of gardener snakes and corns, they are very different in shape and size. Bps should never be slender or look thin. As for too fat, that can happen. As mentioned when you see white skin between the scales you might want to cut back on the food intake.
