Many of these ideas posted here could be a possibility but I think diet as far as types of food is the least likely. For one everybody feeds their snakes mice and egg binding is not super common so I think it rules it out maybe not completely or it may be a small contributing factor ??? I really believe its weight if you look at any animal being over weight causes a ton of problems from cancer to diabetes etc.... My friend Mike's Eastern became egg bound last year and it was not an obese snake but she was definitly chubby.
