Agreed, his snake is a juvenile, and obesity just isn't a real concern in ball pythons under 3 years old. It can be induced through power-feeding, but that has to be the type that uses trickery to get more food into the snake than it intended to eat.

Obesity in adult ball pythons is more common. I had a breeder female myself who was a great eater--too great. I wound up having to put her on a diet, to slim her down before the breeding season, lol.
