I was going to post a pic of our 15ft albino green but I see Mike beat me to it.HaHa

In your original post you said you feed an appropriate sized rat every week. That's kinda vague, what's appropriate to you might be too small or too large to me. Appropriate size to me is the prey item leaving a noticable lump but not looking like the snake swallowed a basketball. We have a 10ft male burm that eats XXXL guinea pigs every 10 to 14 days and he seems skinny to me, so we are going to change it to every 7 days to try to get some mass on him for next breeding season, he has also lost weight this breeding season. If you are feeding a large rat every week you need to bump that up to at least 2 large rats or a small to medium rabbit or a XXL guinea pig.

Like Mike said, we aren't blasting on you just trying to answer your questions, so please don't take things the wrong way.

Hope this helps,
Randy
