Referring to the tricolor: what exactly is your definition of obesity? At what point would you classify an animal as obese? Most general definitions are 20% over normal body weight, in which case I can imagine this individual probably is. It would be different if it were 10 yrs old, but for 1 yr old snake to be that big, the term obese certainly fits the description.
