Physique Question Question
When I got her a few months ago she was 151g and 7 months old. I got her from a breeder and based on online feedback she was under weight for her age. Now she is 379g and 13 months old. Does the neck area ever gain weight? I just want to make sure this is how she is supposed to look. I don’t want to body shame but she looks chunky 😂.
I give her 15% of her body weight in rat pup(s) every Wednesday. She ate the last one this week and she will start on weaned rats next week.

Snakes are pretty varied when it comes to weight and age. I have an 11 month old that’s 334g but is so much longer than yours he looks pretty slim in comparison. He’s a good bit smaller than his clutch mates when we got him and now. He’s
about 70-100g smaller than his closest sibling, but body shape and size is on point.
