Do you think she is fat?

So my wife says my snake is getting a little chunky. She is the best eater I have and is well a garbage disposal and gets the leftovers on feednight:) So about 15% bodyweight every 5 days. Slinky is currently 294 grams was hatched 8-9-11
And I think she is just healthy but the wife is convinced she is to fat :) Let me know what you think
Thanks in Advance

They are supposed to look like that....lol

They're supposed to be chunky snakes so she looks healthy.

As long as a ball python doesn't look like a blood python, I think it's fine.:)

There's no such thing as a fat ball python baby IMO when properly fed. I consider snakes fat when they're adults and noticabley becoming fatty: ie, their scales become really spaced apart when they don't have their bodies curved and when they loose their muscle tone. Even "fat" species that need to be nice and rounded will still have nice muscle tone when they arn't obese.

Sorry but I think it looks a little puffy to me

No, she's not fat at all. I've seen chunkier babies, and they weren't fat, either. Like Daybreaker said, baby ball pythons really don't get fat--they just grow bigger.

Adult ball pythons can get obese--seeing skin between the scales, and pinching near the tail, are signs of obesity. Nothing to worry about until age 3 or 4.

I agree, when you ball starts looking like a blood you should start being concerned ;) lol

Looks like a healthy lil pied to me! If she wants to eat, FEED HER! ;) hahah

looks about right to me. :D
