Rainbow is my new SunTiger female reticulated python progression.

Does your reticulated python take a bath after eating? I fed rainbow today and she has a ritual it seams. First the drinks. Then the eats. Then she takes a bath and washes her face all the way to her tail using her head to scrub her body one section at a time then curls up on the warm side. Then looks out and yawns looking so smug and happy. Love my girl.

Thank you. I have had so much fun getting to know her and now just enjoying every time I handle her. She is amazing. Love her so much.

She loves to eat! Came home her cage was destroyed everything upside down moved around all the substrate was moved around. I fed her a full size guinea pig. Then she decided she wanted more and stared at me through the cage. After about 45 minutes of this and her pacing back and forth she finally climbed in her water dish to take a bath. These pictures were taken before she ate. The water dishes 4 inches tall. She is almost as tall as the water dish. No she is curled up in her hide sleeping it off.

Now that Rainbow is nice and healthy, I have some questions about feeding schedule. To be honest I have let her pick and choose a little based on what was fed and how long it last. She is growing so fast so don't want to stunt her growth by not feeding but also want her healthy. Going to feed today about a week after she eat a XL gueanie pig. She is looking for food and empty. I think this is a bit much IMO but she is asking for food.

Should I....

1) try to make her wait 2 weeks between feedings?
2) let her eat when she is looking for food (Moving things around, flipping things around, giving you that look like "Yo where is my stinking food?"
3) move her back down to smaller prey and feed weekly still? (I think this will only make her more hungry quicker)
4) Other suggestions by you guys?

Keep in mind I feed rats, baby rabbits, and chickens also from time to time.

Is she starting to look fat or just healthy?

Thanks.
