You may be right, I can't say either way, for sure.
What I'm wondering is why the ribs extend above the spine at the joints. That line down its back is a depression, not a ridge. None of my snakes have that. But then again, none of 'em are 20yrs old, either.
Actually, to me, the ribs extending above the spine like they do signifies muscle weakness. I think the muscles are too weak to support the weight properly. That could be the result of overweight & lack of exercise. Bear in mind that this is just my hunch, and a strong one, too, but the truth is, I simply do not know for sure.
Take care!
