From above photo, a viewer might say it's fat. This photo was taken 2 days after eating a small rat so it's not bulging due to food.

But i am confused because of the way it looks when viewed on other angles.

Here it is showing a ridge back whis i think is a sign of poor nourishment


And this showing a sinewy body


The looks are not the worst of my worry. The body is soft, like there is flab in between skin and muscle. I do not know if this is just loose skin from being too thin or if it's actual fat. I do not know much about ball pythons but to my understanding, reptile fat is internal not like us.

I hope you can tell from my photos if i should decrease or increase feeding. Thanks
