How did you amass all this (ahem) wonderful knowledge with only owning one ball python?
Wikipedia?
Not true. Ball pythons will only eat until they are full.
I'm gonna call you out on every incorrect thing you say on this forum.
Just so you know.

Re: Obese snakes?

For Bloods this chart is what i go by. A healthy blood you can still see the spine when they move. If you can see it on any snake they are obese.

I think he means "if you can't see it on any snake, they are obese"

Re: Obese snakes?

I can barley see the spin on my hog island but I think this just applies to bloods and short tails.
