    Bloated, fat, or normal?

    Hello everyone,
    I've had my bp girl for almost a year now, and I'm not sure if she's the size she's supposed to be. A friend of mine, who cares for three bps, says that my girl is fat but I've had her on a 7-10 day feeding cycle with small rats for a few months. I've seen on here that sometimes bps can get bloated if their temps aren't high enough? Her hot side is 86-90 and her cold is 80-82 and she does have a under tank heater that's set to 90 on her warm side.

    Ditto, looks like a well fed ball python. Although the picture isn't so good with the filter and all

    Definitely not fat, bloated or anything like that. Looks healthy.

    Yeah, sorry about the picture quality. I always feed her in half light so she doesn't feel so exposed while she's eating.

    Thanks so much for the replies! I feel better knowing others think she looks fine.
