    Looks great to me but I like to feed my little sausages! They will stop eating if they don't need it.

    Regards,

    B

    Re: is my bp too fat??

    They look fine i'm with simple man feed them if they don't eat it then they didn't want it.There are tons of different opinions but alot of big breeders will give more then one meal a week if they want to get a snake up to size. Plus feed them while they want to eat because next week they might not want to.

    Re: is my bp too fat??

    In my opinion no. But one thing that happened with my little guy whose a little younger then your was he was getting fat like that and i thought it was he was just full but he was constipated. i was worried . if you haven't seen poops in the tank then you will know hes constipated. i put my little guy in a bowl of warm water and massaged him a little and he pooped. aka deflated in size. i don't know why this happened (don't know why he was constipated i mean) but this works well, warm water and whatnot. good luck though i couldn't see the tail but that's how you know about constipation. is a fat swollen looking tail it only seems to happen before a shed in the pink belly stage. hope this helps.
