    Is this royal python skinny?

    I got this little guy today and he looks really skinny to me..




    When I first got my royal she had no wrinkles but this one has visible wrinkles? Does that indicate he is skinny?

    Apparently he hatched last year in March? But he is wayyy too small/skinny, my female hatched in September and is probably double his girth and abit longer


    I don't have any more pictures but I will update tonight.. I will get some better pictures and weight.




    Thanks in advance

    Better photos would be great.
    I would say it looks good.

    FYI even fat snakes have wrinkles in a curled tail........

    Hard to tell until you post better pictures. My male is a fat butt and he's all wrinkles when he curls up. All snakes grow at different rates. Depends on what kind of an eater he is and males are smaller than females too.

    I was thinking he was skinny because he is meant to be 14 months old but looks like a 4 month old hatchling?

    That is him curled up not he's tail?

    I will post some pictures when I get in..
