Is my BP getting fat?

Here is a picture of her. She is only 4 months old. I feed her two adult mice every Sunday. Her stomach looks disproportional to the rest of her body. Let me know, thanks :)

Looks fine to me, too. I don't like when I see some that are literally lumpy and bumpy, looking like fat stuffed sausages with the scales stretched apart and no definition anymore. Literally wrinkles with fatrolls in between. When you see one like that, you'll know what I mean...

Yours looks fine and healthy :)

Here's a link to some more pics:

Ok thanks :)

She's just been gaining so much weight and girth (not to mention her overall length) it has been concerning me a little bit. I've posted a couple threads about this before with hardly any response, so I felt inclined to post another :)
Thanks again!

females get larger than males, as long as she doesnt bulge too much when she coils she will be fine.

To me she looks like a nice, healthy Ball who ate not long ago and maybe need to leave a present. :D

I've seen FAT ball pythons, and once you see one there is no mistaking it. Same thing with an underweight ball.

I go by what I've heard and read, if you can see the skin between the scales when the snake is at rest and straightened out, it's fat. If not, it's fine.

I have been told they are fat when the neck area right behind the head is the same size as the head

She looks great! Females do get more girth then males! My males look so tiny beside my females!
