Re: Is my corn snake fat?
This is Figment, my hypo-lavender corn. He's a little over four years old. He is about 620G and eats 30-40G F/T mice weekly. Sorry for the overexposure. Used my iPhone and he was not holding still!
Wanted to show another corn for comparison. He would eat every day, but I choose to feed weekly on smaller mice rather than every other week larger mice. I will not feed rats as they are fattier.

Thanks I always thought she was abino because that's I was told she was. I never really looked into it. All I know is that she is a very beatuful snake.

Corns can get overweight. They usually show it by having 'hips', fatty deposits around the tail/vent.
Here is a random image I found on a google search of an overweight corn that shows obvious hips:

Candy cane is albino, it's just a selectively bred version of albino to have high white. Yours is very nice!
