However, you can literally google "gravid ball python" and "obese ball python" and get tons of examples of both. I have looked at both for nearly two years, long before I even got my first snake because I want to do things right the first time. Also, if you're actually feeding your girl on medium rats, she should be going closer to every two weeks, not every week. An adult ball python can thrive quite well on a small rat once a week for the rest of it's life.

If you're having trouble on getting your husbandry to a point where it's consistent and your snakes are having that bad of shedding issues, you should be focused on fixing that, not producing more snakes. Everyone wants to jump into the breeding side super fast, but you need to take the time to be a keeper first, and a breeder second.
Just stop reply before I loose on yoy I don't care your opinion anymore when all u have to say about my animal is it's fat and over fed when I feed them 1 time a weed something that doesn't strech out its perfect size for them and just because she's close to laying eggs doesn't make her obese she doesn't even lock with the male anymore and when you havent had your first clutch yet so I don't need your opinions when all snakes are different and do different things because I can't stand my care being questioned when you don't know what and when I fed her and how she has grown over the 2 years of owning her
