is my vote....plenty of great tips in the thread but i really liked how d.mong made the black car analogy....maybe it's no coincidence too that it's seen so often in drymarchon genus;eastern indigoes are known to dessicate very easily in captivity.i don't suspect the snake's overweight unless you're consistently seeing interstitial skin(which is not apparent but appears to be getting close to that point in your pic)....
