Maybe that's why she is on the small side for being 3 years old.

A snake that's taking in plenty of food & remains underweight with a deflated look may have something going on. It doesn't always occur to ppl that a snake can have
worms, because they're eating reliably & it just doesn't seem like anything is wrong. Getting her stool checked would be on my agenda in the near future, assuming he
has been accurate about her food intake & breeding status.

I fed her just under a small size live rat and she took to it without a hitch. I'll just keep an eye on her and see how she does.

Maybe consider a 30 minute soak ..
If it is dehydration then it will instantly look ( and feel ) better ..
Just a thought ..
Soaking seems more prevalent over here in the uk , for some reason .

Beautiful adult albino! I really hope the girl I have now holds that contrast.
