obeisity

How do you know if you're snake's obeise?

good question! i would like to kno!

I've read that when you can see skin between the scales they're obese.

i dont think any of my snakes are based on the above response bc thats the only trick i now as well.

tbh, i think thats the only way to find out LOL
i just googled it, and thats the only answer i could find

Your snake may be obese if... the only rodent it prefers are chocolate Easter bunnies... :rofl:

Obese snakes will get rolls of fat when they curl up. I've seen an obese cal king that has huge rolls of fat on both his sides down his whole body. Not sure why the previous owner let it get that bad, I think it's pretty hard to miss.

when you start seeing skin between its scales

seems like most captive Blood Pythons are good examples. And some Redtail boas...

thanks all

I'm not sure if it applies to BPs, but definitely for colubrids, if there seems to be a very sudden taper off the tail, the snake is considered chubby. Usually I look to that when deciding how much to feed my corn.
