ways to tell your ball is getting fat..

You catch him doing laps in his bin.

You find the newspaper substrate opened to the health and diet section.

You find her checking the nutrition and calorie count of her rodents

You come home to find she has thrown out all her hides because they are too small.


Seriously though.. I have a male that never misses a meal since coming off the breeding season fast. I know they are naturally heavy bodied snakes. What are some signs that you need to cut back. And then when you do. Would you cut back the size of the feeders or the length between feedings or both?
Thanks.
