Is my young ball python fat or sick? Photos

Are you monitoring her weight? It's a good idea to go to walmart and grab a scale know how much she is growing.

She doens't look fat, but twice a week is probably a little much. I would cut it back to once a week.

I think she looks perfectly healthy. It's hard to get a Ball Python fat, as they can be picky eaters, but if they are you will see skin pushing out from under her scales.

You don't house them together, do you?

They aren't housed together. They each have their own tub in the rack. I do need to start weighing them.

Mine aren't picky eaters at all. They always eat and always appear hungry to eat. They are each receiving a hopper mouse twice a week. I haven't had any of them refuse a meal even during shedding they still eat. I can see skin in between her scales. So maybe she is fat? I can't think of anything else it could be. My husband wanted them on the twice a week feedings so they would grow faster. Is that too often for younger balls?
