Alright, biggest part of the snake is better if the snake looks thin. Let me put it like this then: when I buy a new ball python and ship it, I usually check if I have rats in stock that are 10% of the weigh of the snake. Of course I wouldn't feed a thin snake a meal too big for it. No offense taken, bro.
