Yeah that’s definitely a solid bulge. She looks fat and sassy.
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

I'd say that was probably too big of a meal for that snake, I don't like to see a bulge that big in my snakes. I used to have a male Woma, he was a fussy eater too. I would use live rat crawlers to get him eating, after that it seemed like he preferred pre-killed jumbo mice.

She can handle it. I have given snakes much larger meals than that. I'm not saying you should feed all species of snakes a meal this large, for instance I would not give a meal that large to an ETB or a GTP. If I did not think she could handle it I would not have given it to her. Thank you for the concern.

Aspidites have no issues tackling larger(relative to the snake's girth) prey. As a general rule keepers offer smaller rodents(and chicks/quail) more often because, feeding predominately on reptiles in the wild, their natural diet is virtually fat free. Older/retired breeder rodents tend to have much higher fat content so they should be avoided. Not because these critters can't take larger meals, simply because they don't handle fatty diets well.

Re: Woma Female Octavia
I pulled Octavia out for some sunlight and fresh air. This snake looks better and better after every shed. Can't believe someone gave up on her, now I have the fortune of keeping her.

She looks AMAZING! But with those eyebrows, fussy eating & in spite of her gender, I'd have to call her "Groucho"...

Just a thought, have you ever had her probed to make sure she is not in fact a he? Males as they reach adulthood commonly go off feed when they are horny.
She does look great, you have done good things with her.

I have proved her and she is a she. There has always been a feeding issue with this girl ever since she was a neo. I dont think it is a reproductive thing. Although that is a good stab in the dark and I appreciate the idea.
