    Some questions

    So I picked this girl up last week. She had just come in on a trade from someone who got her at a reptile show. They didn't have any info other than its a female. That being said I was looking for opinions on her size and possibly her morph / genetics / lineage.
    I'm mostly trying to figure out if she is over weight, and how much I should be feeding. I have read that they can eat one large rat a week? Or two rats every two weeks? That would be about the same but do you think they do better on an extended feeding schedule?
    Any opinions welcome.

    She's beautiful!

    I've only just started researching blood pythons, but from what I've read they're easy to overfeed. They really only need a large/x-large rat every 3-4 weeks or so once they're adults. You want to be able to see her spine just a little bit.

    Have fun with her!

    I like her size, to be honest. I'd rather my snake be just a little chunky compared to just a little underweight. She's a nice looking gal!

    I'd say a little on the chunky side, but not too bad. As far as bloodlines, if you don't have the history, there's no way to really say for sure because normals vary a lot. She's a normal red blood.

    Looks good to me. I'd feed it a my rat every two to three weeks. Looks to be a normal
