Is Juju Obese?

[DylantheVillain]

Hi all, Juju has the best appetite! I feed her once a week and three weeks ago one of the pet owners I buy my FT Mice from suggested that I up the size of her food. So from one medium mouse a week I moved to one large mouse a week. She also hasn't pooped in a couple weeks.

Your snake isn't obese.

[DylantheVillain]

She just seems very thick an unporportioned to her body. Before she was more even if that makes any sense

BP's have a very stocky build.

Did your snake eat recently before this picture was taken?

[DylantheVillain]

She ate after. I guess I'm so cautious lol I always think she has kinks or something's wrong! I love her

Bigger meals, less often. Rats is the better choice for sure. We bought a pretty stocky girl that had been fed 4-5 mice per week and when we gave her a big enough rat every 7-10 days instead she not only grew better but she evened out nicely. She's gravid now though

Btw, you should weigh her from time to time.
