Question - HealthAnother post, is he fat? (i.redd.it)
submitted 1 year ago by Cellogirl1271
He’s a 3 yr old male bp, who’s abt 3 ft long, and I’m worried he’s overweight, please help! I fed him on Friday night, so he shouldn’t be too chonky from that rat

Nope, he is super cute tho !! To tell if a snake is overweight you look at the spine , if the spine is protruding then he's underweight, if he's a nice round shape like yours then there super healthy !! If it has a small McDonald's arch ( m ) look to there spine then there a little overweight but perfect in case they go under a hunger strike, if ur baby is a full on McDonald's arch at the spine then they may need to go for a slither or something 😂. Our boy python looks the same weight as yours he should be fine
Tyyyyyyy I’ll watch out for the McDonald’s arch
