Hi,

It made sense to me?

When they first hatch they have the yolk they just absorbed so look well fed but once they use that up then if they are not eating then they start to look like the first snake pictured.

It's a bit counter productive to focus only one one figure or stat in isolation was the point I took away from his post.

Taken to absurd lengths a 600g ball python could be a great healthy youngster or a skeletal male on the point of death.

But however you slice it I don't think this animal is ready for sale by the indicators we would be looking for if we were the prospective buyers.



And if this is what it looks like as a great feeder then god help it if it decides to go on a diet.



But it might be a better focus for the thread to help the OP get the snakes started on the right track and eating well and regularly so that when they are sold it is a good experience for everyone involved.
