    She looks great! I'd never be upset at a good eater. I have a trouble eater and I'd take the opposite any day.

    She looks nice and chunky to me, but not in a bad way

    Puffy? It looks completely healthy to me. If this is puffy than I don't want to see a non puffy snake.

    She looks like a healthy, happy ball to me.

    Ball pythons are heavy bodied snakes, they are supposed to be round and plump, not stick thin like a cornsnake. Unfortunately, half-starved balls are the norm in petshops, most people don't know what a healthy ball is supposed to look like.

    I've only see one truly FAT ball python. It was a photograph of a supposedly 5000 gram+ female, and she looked like she had swallowed a 2-liter soda bottle. She was FAT. Other than that one, I've seen the occasional pudgy one, but yours is neither.
