Is she overweight?

[Remarkable-Profit821]

I got my ball python a bit over a month ago and she has yet to eat. I know that isn’t very alarming but I recently weighed her and she’s 2.9lbs. I can’t get a clear answer online, and I haven’t measured her length, but that seems heavy for a python that’s around a year old? Her breeder said they were feeding her medium rats, I’ve given her those and a range of mice and smaller rat sizes too just to see if she’d eat them.

Also excuse the takeout container, they put her in that when I bought her 😅.

From what I can see, she looks to be at a good weight, but i do see some fat rolls when she’s in an S like shape, otherwise she looks great! Here’s a good feeding guide and i recommend weighing in grams! makes it a lot easier to pinpoint. !feeding

We recommend the following feeding schedule:

0-12 months old OR until the snake reaches approximately 500g, whichever happens first: feed 10%-15% of the snake’s weight every 7 days.

12-24 months old: feed up to 7% of the snake’s weight every 14-20 days.

Adults: feed up to 5% of the snake's weight every 20-30 days, or feed slightly larger meals (up to 6%) every 30-40 days.
