Would you believe my boy Arwen is such a good eater I had to put him on a diet. I noticed last week he isnt able to coil up tight anymore.. LOL
But I'm not complaining.. although not a healthy option, a fat ball python is a happy unstressed eating ball python..
needless to say hes going down considerably in prey size for a while at least...

Yeah, don't you just love those great eaters!? I have a female BP that I had to put on a diet--she was my garbage can before that.

Nice pic of a handsome BP!

My female was like that when I fed live. She was like a kid into cookies. Now that I feed frozen/thawed, she is fairly consistent but so unenthusiastic and also rather slow about it. Like a kid into veggies.

I feed fresh killed, but I'm sure he would eat anything I put in front of him as long as he's not in shed.
