Overfed adult colubrids....

Sorry to hear about your snake Ace

Thanks Vanan, it was really hard when she first passed away. She was the first specific phase of snake I actually searched for.

As for being able to tell if they're fatty lumps, well if you get ones which DON'T grow then you can almost be sure

From what the Vet had told me, the snakes glands are from about mid body to about the vent. Any lumps concentrated in just this area should be suspect of possible infection. She also told me the swelling will be somewhat symetrical down the length of the side body.

I think underfed snakes are way more common and way more tragic than overfed ones

I think I'd have to side with Dr. Greenlove here. By they're very nature, you would have to severley neglect it to underfeed it.
