Hi, just wanted to get some input & post my picture.
A little background on my BP. I got him from my cousin who was not taking care of him AT ALL. From what I could see, he was constantly shedding and my cousin did not clean his tank. Someone had dumped this gorgeous snake and his tank on my cousins door step and frankly I think my cousin was afraid of him. I know that he was pre-killing small rats when he did feed him. I have had him for approx 5 months now. I started feeding small rats (i so can not pre kill or stun them) and Slowly increasing the size of the rats. I feed him about every 7-10 days or so a medium/large'ish rat. He has never shown any sign of distress or difficulty eating. My aunt who did not see him for about 4 months after I got him saw him the other day and said OMAG THAT SNAKE IS WAY TOO FAT. So now I am concerned. I thought that a BP would refuse food if it was not "hungry" I do believe he was near death when I got him (he did not move much and was so skinny). ALSO, he has only shed once in 5 months, reason for concern?
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... here is a pick of my baby.
Thank you for reading, and any input. (I have more questions, but I'll wait.)
