    Is my BP fat?
    I have a gorgeous albino BP, but I think he is getting fat or something.

    He hatched in mid July of this year (08), and the breeder I got him from was feeding him once every 5 days....So I just continued that, and I have been feeding him once every 5 days, too.

    However, it seems like he has a lot of excess skin. For instance, when he has his body in any sort of turned position, he has numerous wrinkles at the bend. You can also feel loose skin when handling him

    Maybe it's because he will be shedding soon?

    Let me know.

    can you take a picture with something in the picture for reference? a coin, dollar bill, coke can, etc...

    Do you have an approximate weight on him?

    My wife has a digital camera somewhere, but I can't find it. Also, I don't own any sort of digital scale.

    I have two bp's of roughly the same age, and even when he showed up, he was much 'thicker' than the other one who was only fed once every 7 days.

    The 'little' guy never has a problem eating, though....that's for sure. I have fed him mice, rat pups, and ASFs...they never stay in his cage for more than a minute.
