    How do you make your ball work out?

    I just want him to increase his muscle tone should I make him climb a tree (fake of course)?

    Any work out plans for them to keep them healthy?

    This is a serious question.

    well..for me, I get them all up around 7 am and start with a lil yoga. that is to help them get limber. Then we go for a quick (lol) 2 mile sprint through the woods. That is to help them build endurance. After that we weight train. for obvious reasons. Nothing like having your own Rocky Ballboa's!

    ok...really no I let them do their own thang. I get them out for a roam every now and again but that's it.

    that was hilarious really was gonna go for a jog. lol

    I just noticed very very very little flabness that wasnt always there, so wondering if he isnt burning the calories that he should.

    Hopefully you are not describing dehydration. Maybe you could post a pic of your snake.

    He is 36in 564g. It isnt like hanging off the skin you cant see it with a pic, but i can kind of pinch it (pinch is a bad word) it is a very small amount that i can grasp, but i just remember a couple months ago you couldnt do that it was like pure muscle.
