Update on Skin

She's getting fat! I've had her for just under a month and she's gained 200g's. Is that a lot? She's apparently 6 years old. Just over 4 feet long. I got her at 1700g's, she's now 1900g's. What do you think?

Absolutly huge man you need to give weight watchers a call!!! No way man she looks good to me, no stretching between scales. What are you feeding and how often??

and... she's gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (proud to have assisted with her name!)

She's eating medium sized rats every week and a half. When I got her, the guy said to give her small rats, but I got the feeling that wasn't enough. She would stare me down as I walked by her enclosure for a day or so afterward. She ended up eating a small rat and 3 mice between two days. I started giving her med rats the last time I fed her, she seems satisfied now. After she eats, she will just go to her hide.

ah the dreaded ball python stare down...

dexter used to do that to me too LOL

I def don't think she is over weight she looks really good to me!

Oh wow! She is looking good man!

I'm beginning to think that mine is overweight (my newly aquired adult female that is [Riley]). I haven't had the opportunity to weigh her yet but but the eye she is fatter than that! :( I'm 6'1 and can barely fit my hand around her. I have fed her once now... I had to choose a prey that was slightly larger than her girth which was a large rat that she downed with no problem.. the rat was bigger than both my female breeders.

Thats a nice looking big girl! I dont see why she'd need a diet, looking great!

If you think she's overweight... you can send her over here and I'll put her to good use! :)

Haha, I think I'll keep her.

Thanks to all who left comments. Glad to hear no one thinks she's too fat.

Be prepared for the 100g stink-bomb she's likely to drop in the near future! (Kisasa did that to me today...GROSSS! LOL)

Haha, she did that last week. It was a doozy! If it hadn't of happened in her tank, I would have thought I did it.
