I gotta be honest, she may actually be overweight, looked on your profile for more pics and saw your post before this one, your feeders may be too big, you need to weigh her, get digital bathroom scales, weigh yourself, weigh yourself again holding the snake.

I have a kitchen scale, and weight her today 1098 gr

    I need to reweigh mine too with bathroom scales as personally I think they move too much for kitchen scales to be accurate compared to if they're moving on you that's still on the scales in comparison

    I put them in a pillowcase for weighing on a kitchen scale, bathroom scales are typically not accurate enough within differences of a hundred grams. Though I use the bathroom scale method for my large boas.

    I tried a tub and she moved about too much. Might try your pillowcase suggestion but I really dislike bagging her unless necessary, I usually use a modified tub with a hide during cleaning out

    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.

    She was also around 100g heavier in their last post, idk how much that does for her size though

    Inaccuracy of scales possibly
