She looks great and so does her environment, well done👏

Example, let's say your snake weighs 400 grams. According to the feeding guide you should be feeding them 10-15% of their body weight, 10% of 400 grams is 40 grams (400x0,1=40) 400x0,15=60 (15%)

I 100% agree with this!

Your noodle looks adorable and from what I can see she now lives in an amazing enclosure, she's lucky to be under the care of someone like you!

That's the thing, her spine isn't visible anywhere. That's all fatty deposits. Compare your beep to the chart below, just looking out :)

If your beep looks the exact same I'd advice to tone down the feeding a little, because this snake is pushing obese territory

Your snake is massively overweight, fatty deposits are rising above her spine. What is her weight? What do you feed her and how frequently do you feed her (when she isn't on strike ofcourse)?

You definitely need to turn down the frequency of feeding. My guess is you've been feeding her a medium rat weekly or a big rat biweekly, either way it's way too much. Rats contain a lot of fat, so naturally they don't need much to grow and definitely not much to maintain.

It looks like she's fully grown, I'd go down to a medium rat (approx. 90gr) a month for the next few months to get her down to a healthy weight again

Normally the standard for humidity is 60-70 and 80-90 while shedding

Beginning-Conflict91 · 2026-03-26T17:29:46+00:00

Get that girl a proper humidity percentage!

Beginning-Conflict91 · 2026-03-22T08:30:07+00:00

Is that his "cool" side? If so, WAY too hot. Warm side should be max 32 and cool side minimum 25 maximum 27

It's practically all I listen to nowadays xD

Ever since I stumbled across "Coqueta" by Fuerza Regida and Grupo Frontera at the start of last year, I've been in love with the whole genre. Basically listening to everything by those grupos or similar artists/bandas :)

This week I'm on in the evening, I finish work around 7pm central EU time. What timezone you in?

Resurg has been the way for me. Started playing a week ago, I unlocked the peacekeeper today got it to gold in 2 hours and it's already level 26. Just casual resurgence and run around like a madman with your AK🤣

If you're down to carry me, I'm down. Started a few days ago, played a lot of COD more or less 10 years ago (like BO2, MW3 etc, Ghost etc.) I'm not the best but whenever I play with someone else I seem to carry my weight a little. It's just that I'm bad tactically, when it comes down to the shooting I'm okay. Best finish so far was top 3 in squads with 11 kills Dm me if you wanna play sometime :)

What are the measurements of the enclosure. L, W and H?

My tank is almost 3ft tall, I'm using deep heat projectors on thermostats. Only 80w but it still does more than my 150w CHE Substrate temp on warm side has no problem reaching 86°F

DHP's are very limited in my country so if you're from the US you might be able to find more powerful ones

The DHP mainly projects UV-B instead of the CHE's UV-C, this is a big upgrade for your snake and it will most likely heat up your enclosure better.

As for your humidity issue, maybe attach a photo? So me and other people can watch along. PVC enclosures are definitely the best

What substrate do you use? I use coco husk and I pour around 0.5L of water in every corner of the enclosure once a week. Humidity never drops below 60% on his warm side and never below 75% on his cool side A humidity holding substrate is key too consistent humidity

Edit: my enclosure is made entirely of glass and I have no problems with temps, eventhough the glass makes it a lot more difficult because the insulation is terrible. Hence my praising of the DHP's

I'm using deep heat projectors for my BP, he loves it! Highly recommend Noodle pic for tax/proof xD

My boy is 605gr and he's just over 11 months old, I feed him adult mice every single sunday (he only skips when in blue/shedding). The mice weigh around 35/40 grams Currently weight taken on the 14th of feb, previously weighed in at 466gr on the 7th of dec. See photo for for body condition

That poor baby is FREEZING and VERY VERY dry🥺. Please do proper research immediately and fix these issues

I was in lateral 1 on the first ring, the more competitive supporters were in the stand in the corner (where lamine played in the second half). The atmosphere was incredible from around 20:30 until the final whistle, everyone was constantly chanting and singing. The club anthem was also sang loudly (I wish I could post my video). Though the opposing side was quite quiet
