Slightly off topic... when I acquired Godzilla, my prize female reduced pattern, probably Araza morph ball python, she was huge and thick like a monster (hence her name). The previous keeper had mistakenly thought that power-feeding and keeping them fat would increase and speed up their breeding ability.
At first I was thrilled at her size, her girth was very impressive visually! I loved it! it was the experienced veteran breeders and keepers here at ballpythons.net that convinced me and educated me that keeping a snake really FAT was not only unnecessary, but even UNHEALTHY! as soon as I acquired her, I immediately put her on a diet and she now looks more healthy. She is still a big monster, but not obese. I am here for one reason, to be educated by the veterans and to educate the novices.
