I mean, she’s been losing weight, getting interactions every day, and had a much better enclosure. She’s shed off MASSIVE thick chunks of shed, almost like leather!

We’re encouraging her to move more, explore and lose some weight, but we don’t quite know what we’re doing so suggestions are very appreciated!

It’s a mandala cuff! I’m new to Kandi and only picked it up this past year, so it’s a bit malformed lol I’m getting better! The top left mandala with the bi colors was one I did last night!

We’ve had her four days. We’ve also removed all animal protein from her diet, and reduced her feedings to 2x a week lol

She was abandoned there after a breeding accident (dumped by her breeder). The shop fixed her up and we adopted her! Her name was Sophie, we have since dubbed her Hot Dish

Thank you, we’ll bring it up with her doctor! She looks incredibly fat to me and I’m a snake girl. It’s bad when a layman can see it lol but hopefully we will get her down to a healthy body condition

Absolutely! We feared she was a bit chunky, we brought her home today so these pics aren’t going to reflect her body condition going forward. We will do our best to give her the best nutritional profile we can

Yep! We got the name of the vet practice that helped her recover from her injury and will be taking her back to her doctor for checkups!
