    My Ball [U]is[/] properly housed, as are all my other snakes. My Dum's could use a little more floor space, but I'm working on that. I appreciate your concern, though.

    Well that's cool. Congrats on having such a heavy snake lol. My biggest girl like I said is ~18lbs and 8.25' long. I'm pretty sure now she's just gonna put on weight and only grow very minimally. Then again she's only about 5.5 years old so she's still got a good chunk of life to live.

    On a side note my digital scale weighs up to 75lbs in grams, lbs, kgs, and lb/oz so I think I need to keep some bigger species as well lol.

    Well it doesn't look obese to me. But then again I only keep BCI's and a BP so I'm not an expert lol.
