Chris, I see your post alot so I know you know what your talking about when it comes to serpents, but I really believe that big look of that Pulcher is often how they look.

I agree you can over feed snakes, but I don't think the two Monster snake photos of the Heterodon and Pulcher are obese, I don't see it.

The 350lb woman idea does'nt work because I have'nt seen a 350lb woman go off feed for two months yet. And if a woman is pregnant she would do better a little over weight then under weight.

I've had my Honduran female at 787 grams before breeding and after laying 9 eggs drop down to 496 grams and over three months put her weight back on, then she is burmated for 8 weeks, with a small drop in weight, brought back up with feeding every 10 days until breeding time. Then the whole thing starts over.

O.k. we've kicked a dead dog.

Hey, don't you keep Rubber Boas? If so how many and do you have locality Boas?
