Oh my..

Is that a optical illusion or is that actually a indentation above the spine and lumps and bumps along her side from FAT ?

I was honestly wondering the same thing.

I really don't understand the allure of forcing a snake to grow more quickly, especially when you're dealing with something like a retic.
