    How to know if healthy?

    I assume the best would be to find a vet, but I cannot seem to find someone specialized in reptiles close to where I am? If anyone knows one in Quebec, that would be great, but as it goes I seem to only find the "listen to me and no one else because I know all about BPs because I breed then". Not personal and not meant to point fingers at breeders, I just have the same happen to me with cat and dog breeders and I would have hoped to get less of them with balls... I might just be really unlucky

    My "problem" is the size and muscles of suposed 2 month old, 68g female I bought from a "really great breeder". I bought her from a guy that sold this breeder's snake in his petstore but he only knew the info he had in his computer (morph and price) and that she was maybe about that age.

    So after I get home I notice that she is smaller then my month old 87g male. To add to that, when handling her I noticed that her butt is really squishy and not at all as strong as my males? He can hold himself from my finger with only his tail while she does not keep hold at all except with the muscle on the first half of her body. He tail moves, but the end of her body just flops and falls if I dont hold it in my hand. She seems small and her skin seems too big for her, I wonder if she is " just" underfed or if there's something else I should check for.

    Fall 2015 :
    "I'll only get one" I said, cuddling a bp hatchling "See how it goes"
    Two months later :
    2 adults, 2 juveniles and 1 bci.
    "Oops"
