>>I have a large female that will eat ANYTHING... Live, P/K, F/T... It does not matter to her. She is currently 4'4" long, 2500 grams, and 8.5" in diameter at her largest point. How do I determine if she is fat, or if she's just a happy healthy BIG girl? Here's a pic with a cigarette pack for reference. Let me know what you think.

I have one that is 52" long and at the last weight check back in February on an empty stomach weighed in at 5.1 lbs (I forget the gram conversion). Eats anything and everything but prefers rats. Comparing to your photo, mine doesn't have that bulgy look so far up the body near the neck line and only has the bulgy look near the tail when she hasn't defecated yet after a good meal. I've been trying to get as much weight on mine as I could without trying to over do it - when I got her last June she was way underweight..skin was actually hanging loose on her in spots. She's filled out nice and so far holds a fairly slim look so I don't think mine if fat... that is until recently lol. Right now she does look fat and bloated and uncomfortable (ovulating) and about to go into shed.
