Shame on you :colbert:

I would like to take this time to make a statement.

Lucille...has not now...nor ever, taken any steriods! She is officially offended and is strongly considering dismissing herself from the ballpythonalon.

I quote her..."ssssss.ssss....sssssss. sssss sss ss ssss s." end quote.

thank you and have a good night. There wil be a press conferance later this evening.

*you know what that means if you own bp's!

Don't worry this is normal.

:confused: I have never felt any extra skin with my BP either prior or after shed and I don`t think you should really ever be able to feel extra skin anyway. How`s your humidity?

-and I`m training mine on BMX freestyle for the next BP X Games.

I'm not talking baggy or saggy. Just skins normal properties. put your finger on your arm and wiggle it around. You feel how your skin has an elastic property that causes it to slide and move around on top of the underlying muscle? This is what you should feel on your snakes. This is normal. But as a snake grows and it gets too big for its skin, some of this elastic properties is lost because your putting 10 pounds in a 5 pound sack.

BTW. I have 58% Humidity monitered by accurite and proper 80~ 90~ gradient.

My bp is going for the dead lift. She can lift a megazord with her mouth. :carrot:

She is a quiter. ;)

If your snake is overfat, you will see white areas of thin skin in between the scales. Do you see this?
Baggy skin and a triangular shape (crossways) would actually indicate underweight-ness to me.. or dehydration. We needs us a piccy!

Personally, I tie my snakes together and make a long jump-rope; this way we can ALL exercise; fun wow!
(do I need to say that this IS a joke?)

I like to put mine in one of those large hamster balls. They really have a blast! (ok just kidding...)

The boa really hates it though as only her head fits in the hole :)
