    Obestity?

    I saw this pic on the bet.. do these snakes look obese to you or something? I never saw one with the weird lumpiness like in ths pied on the left.
    It's a link, not my snakes.

    The one stretched out doesn't look so bad (maybe because its not curling) but that other one just makes me think YUCK! ...and its a pied!

    they don't look too old, i bet they slow down or stop eating before long. balls do a good job of maintaining enough calories.

    Re: Obestity?

    Just about all the pythons that i have worked on in the museum for skeletal preperation, look obese to me with the amount of fat deposits within the body cavity. Even snakes that don't look overweight on the outside, have massive amounts of fat within them. But as far as that pic goes, they would probably advertise it as a...."good eater" hahaha
