How do you tell if your snake is fat?

I was wondering, what are the signs you look for to tell if your snake is overweight? I think I am going to slack off on Boaz's feedings since I suspect he may be fat. He seems to be..."lumpy" and also has what I call a "double chin".

OR do they just bulk up this time of year?

One sign is the snake having rolls of fat when it bends.

OK that must be the 'lumps' I am seeing, lol. What a little fatty! Maybe I should feed every two weeks instead of every week...

I mean, he looks awesome this size, but I knew it wasn't quite right. Time for a diet, methinks. He just has such a huge appetite!

I think Korbin has a good pic of a BCi that shows the ''rolls''
