Nice carinata, and good observations! how old are they? I have always been under the impression that they are fairly heavy-bodied snakes - not sure where I got that though. Maybe they bulk up after they reach adult length..? I have seen that happen in other snakes - especially Chinese beauties, which (in my expereince) stay very thin until they are over four feet long, and then bulk up somewhat - females more than males.
That is a species I would like to keep some day, when I have more time and space for big cages... ----- -Toby Brock
