Safe weight gain rate?

Thanks! Granted, I am a little partial, but I think she is gorgeous too, especially for a Petsmart normal!

Normals are beautiful too and I quite like this one. The tan donuts along her spine are really cool.

And I don't think she is constipated either. I honestly think that since she is the only ball python I've ever been around I just don't really have a good idea what she is SUPPOSED to look like, so I set her rather skinny starting point as "normal" in my head.

I'm a nurse for humans, so that much weight gain so quick just seems like a whole lot to me... i mean, if we all gained 75 to 80% of pound for pound what we ate we would all by like 600 pounds! Just needed someone with more experience to tell me it is ok/normal for a snake to gain like that

She's tiny, not skinny so she's fine. If they're unhealthy skinny, she'll be more triangle shaped with her spine poking out.

Don't worry about her growth as long as you feed her appropriately sized prey on a good schedule.
And I'm laughing about the snake/human comparison. Snakes are something else, hahahaha. It's really cool to learn about them, I'm sure you'll be fascinated by how different they are.
