    Obese or No-bese?

    Hi all, wanted a public opinion. This is Fabio, he is a gorgeous bumblebee. My first BP with Spider in it, the corkscrewing threw me for a loop lol. He's super cute, a bit shy, but absolutely stunning. Pics do not do him justice.

    I adopted from a member of this forum who is moving out of the country, he is a really great guy who clearly cares very much for his animals. He told me that Fabio was around 4 years old, and that he was feeding him large rats weekly.

    Now, Fabio is a BIG boy, weighed over 1700g yesterday (not empty, 3 days after a 115g rat). He does not feel mushy at all. I have seen the feeding guide that goes around where it suggests that typical adult males don't need anything larger than a small rat weekly, and decided based on his size to be feeding him mediums weekly.

    My questions are, based on these pics, does he look to be overweight, or is he just a big boy? And next, should I keep him on a diet of Medium rats weekly (which is smaller size than what he was eating) or should I switch up the size/frequency? I appreciate the advice and experience
