    Actually, wild ball pythons are generally traingular in shape with a prominent spine. The ones in our keeping are usually a bit overweight.

    What they're talking about is a cross section of the snake. Ball pythons natrually have a high prominent spine. Wild or thin ball pythons don't have a lot of fat reserves on the upper sides of their bodies which makes them look more traingular in cross section. Captive well fed animals have well developed fat reserves on the upper sides of their bodies which makes them look more rounded in cross section.
