    Is King too fat?
    https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...0_1301copy.jpg
    I would like some input on Kings size. He was 30in at his last shed(Sept. 10). I weighed him today because he went poo last night and he weighs 385g. I am not sure how old he is because i got him from petco but i have had him about 6 months and he was kinda big when i got him so i would guess 10 months maybe. he eats 2 small female mice every 7 days never has refused a meal and always has perfect sheds. It just seems like in the last mounth he has got alot fatter. I would also like to say that I have been using this forum for resurch since before i got him and it is awsome. This is my first post though so I hope the pic works.

    From this angle he looks a little chunky (in the tail area, could be poo) but I'd have to compare to my own boys weight wise. It doesnt sound like your over feeding, so I don't think he should be overweight. Eh, we'll see what others think.

    Looks fine to me. Two mice a week is a good number to keep on with, especially if he's eating every week. So, no worries!

    If you can see white between the scales, then he is too fat. Otherwise he is fine.
