I see the phrase pop up here and there, but haven't seen it discussed really. I'm not speaking of obesity from overfeeding, but... a ball python who is just held like a blob in hands when out vs. a ball python who is allowed to attempt to climb on a chair, branch, or arm quite often.
Is there such a thing as good/bad muscle tone in ball pythons, depending on how often they climb around on objects/exercise? I thought having a fixed level of strength in snakes was automatically inherent?
