    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. :colbert: 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.
