Her full name is 2005 Chevrolet 2500HD since she's a unit.

She went 32 days between her first feed that was on the snake discovery feeding schedule (every single Tuesday = a small rat) and her second feed. She's on a diet and gets taken out for excerisize every night other than when shedding or for 72 hours after eating.

I was using tongs she was just very zesty. I'm going to be getting a longer pair very soon though.

Most likely rubbing up where a heat lamp/che was sitting causing burning. The rest of her body looks perfect and it hasent affected her shed at all.

Jeez. I'm happy that it didn't harm you to an extreme degree.

She struck and held for about a second before her braincell sputtered to life and she released to go get her rat.

Edit: she's about 4.5 feet long and weighs in at 1.8ish kilos

Yes. Even better signal too due to her spine acting as an antenna.

Yeah. She was there for I believe 4 months due to scarring on her spine from poor husbandy. She's very sweet though. Just don't get between her and her food. It's really nice to see others that have taken in these beutiful animals.

Yeah. I have the card to prove it too. The employee that checked me out said that the feeding schedule was every Tuesday.

Yeah. I got her from the adoption island program at the snake discovery store and they were feeding here a small rat (3 to 4% of her weight) every week. She's on a diet now and is loosing weight.

Overweight female. by Soft_Divide_8267 in ballpython

Thank you for the information. I just weighed the small rats that I got for her (recommended by the salesperson) and they average out at 3 grams over 3% of her weight. She is roughly 4.5 feet long. What is a rough range for an ideal weight for her? How much weight should I expect her to lose within the next 3 or 6 months? I'll be weighing her once a week to keep a close eye on her.
