BP Weight Loss Plan

[Gocntry]

For a little while now I’ve noticed my ball python gaining weight and flab. I originally took this issue to another source where I was reassured it was typical and no concern, but it’s progressed and after looking at some charts I’ve determined him to be overweight. As expected, I’m trying to get him back to a healthy body condition.

Currently he (male, 3yrs old) weighs 1284g. He’s on a diet of one small rat every 14 days.........Any help is appreciated.

I don't know if this is any help, But here is a comparison for you...

I just had "Hal" (Standard, Normal Ball Python) at the vet (SEAVS) yesterday for his final checkup after a minor surgery, He is 4 years old, confirmed male by them, he weighed in at 1580 grams,

they said he had very good body shape (not overweight), and was healthy. He is also on a diet of 1 small rat (58g to 68g) every 14 days.
