Okay so I bought a ball python like 2 months back from a local pet shop (I live in the UK) and he looked quite healthy to me, but maybe a little thin. So anyway the pet shop sold me some mice that weighted 10 grams each so I thought that they were maybe too small for him, so I went and bought some rats that weigh 20-30g, I have been feeding him the smallest ones, but all of a sudden it looks like he has got really fat? Or is it just that since he was skinny and now he is at normal weight I think he’s fat. I just want to know if I should lessen the amount of food he is eating cos I don’t want him to be morbidly obese lol

i should mention that I weighed him when I got him home and he weighed in at 205g, tbh I have no clue whether this was normal or not but he seemed to have a lot of loose skin and his spine was more prominent than what I have seen in other BPs. Maybe I should just feed him less often? I have been feeding him every 5 days so should I just feed him every 7 instead?

(Also I would love to mention that he has been eating great and even shed all in one piece from the get go, and all my temps and humidity etc. Are all okay)
