Hello all! I am really worried about overfeeding my baby coz of effects on lifespan.
I have had her since January when she came to me at only 68g and was a hatchling. Now it's late July and she is 600g~
I'm just a bit worried as looking at other snakes progression and weights it looks like she is way bigger than she should be, I've been seeing people posting that their snake is a similar weight at one year! Possibly just her being on the larger side naturally?
I've moved her feeding to every 10-14 days from 7
and she takes small rats. (She moved onto these when she hit 500g.)
The following pictures were taken roughly 72 hours after eating, I know that where the body hits the tail can be a good indicator of obesity and I don't see an issue there. It'd be nice to have someone chime in and reassure me or let me know she's looking a bit too big. I've had a look at some charts but I trust the advice on here more than my judgement
