Curious about Obesity

[TheSnakeEye]

I know that BP's can become overweight if fed too much or too large of a meal. I would like to see and overweight BP. I've noticed that with a lot of the BP's on here you can kind of see their spine. None of my BP are like that so maybe they are overweight. Just want to see if any can post examples of a healthy weight and an overweight BP.

I haven't seen many obese ball pythons at all. What I look for is the skin between the scales. If you can see the stretched skin between the scales when the snake is at rest, then it is obese.

Ball pythons are husky snakes by nature, and a lot of pictures you see, especially of pet shop snakes, the snakes are thinner than they should be. A healthy ball should be rotund to a degree.
