    Male royal python body condition

    Hello everyone, I've had this lovely emperor pinstripe male royal python for about 5 years and he is himself about 6 years old. He is 3 feet and 10 inches long (119cm) and weighs 1397g. I think the weight to size to age ratio is perfectly acceptable but I don't know, looking at him I find him a bit thin but at the same time any more weight on him might round him up too much and make him lose the nice slightly triangular body shape he's got. What do you all think?

    Looks fine to me as well- not thin.

    Thanks everyone, I'm used to having females so I guess I'm used to a bit more girth. Nice to know I was worried about nothing.
