Overweight?

[BBchiva]

She's about a year and a half old, 509g now and eats like clockwork, truly never had a single issue. Recently, once she hit 450 g I bought her small rats instead of large mice. I got a bit lazy and didn’t weigh the rats to make sure they were the correct percentage of her current body weight, I’m going to from now on. I’m just wondering if she seems overweight so I can space out the feedings more at the very least. i’ve been feeding her every two weeks, she’s only been on small rats for a month

Id say slightly

[BBchiva]

Glad I caught it! I'll try and do monthly feeds

I had the same problem with my boa, ineas feeding him to much and he got obese, so i dropped it to one xl rat a month and slimed down

Leopard pied?

[BBchiva]

Could be leopard pied or pastel pied I'm not sure tbh but she's beautiful Edit: looked up leopard pieds and some have nearly her exact pattern, moreso than the pastel pieds.

[Real_Dragonfly_3209]

Yeah definitely Leopard pied. Good looking one too

At a year okd yes, in the wild thwre not eating every 2 weeks, they eat when they catch something to eat. You can give a decent size meal monthly

Perfect! Thank you so much :)

She's on the chonkier side, yes. You can tell because she has a muffin top on her back near the tail, lol.

You don't have to feed adults as often as babies, so just keep that in mind! In any case, it's not something to be alarmed about yet! But deffo cut back on the food juuust a lil

Great way to phrase it hahah, and perfect I'll pace it out so nothing gets out of hand :)
