    Does that bother you at all or are you just concerned with her weight. She looks good to me.
    But oh boy that corkscrew scares me. Im not sure I would breed her either.
    As long as she can eat well though and there is no way it is IBD, then she should flourish.
    It bugs me sometimes, but really only when he sticks his head underwater or something. I love my snake, and spiders are beautiful. Despite my constant paranoia of his weight and being a bit of a picky eater, he's pretty healthy. I was just concerned about him never really fattening up the way most balls do on a diet like his, and because of his parasite scare when he was younger, it's always been in the back of my mind. He's grown length-wise, but I guess width must take a bit more time.

    Thanks everyone! I'll try not to worry about it his weight too much anymore. Makes me feel much better when people who have worked with them longer than I have say his weight looks alright. I'm going to leave him in QT till he eats for me once more, and then I'll move him back into his regular home and cover the outside of it and not touch him for a week or so to calm the wobble down..

    Malcolm, I'll order a new crock tomorrow, or possibly a ceramic, thanks for the advice.

    Over paranoid snake mom makes a mess out of things.
