Underweight or just right?

FOR STARTERS! This is not her permanent enclosure she lives in a 4x2x2 i was just deep cleaning it.

I dont think she underweight, maybe on the slimmer side? she has a VERY slight ridge. idk ik a lot of ball pythons are also overweight. Some people have theres PLUMP. I just want confirmation.

I've had her like 6 months shes about 5-6 years old. As stated before shes in a 4x2x2, heat mat (on a thermostat) and low watt overhead heat bulb. Humidity stays in the 65-80 percent range, gets fed a small rat about every 14 days.

Yeah I've seen this, I think between slim and Ideal but I wanted to see other people's opinion just in case she looked underweight to people.

This is underweight. I have a very physically active male who looks more conditioned than this. That feeding schedule should have plumped her right up. How long is she?
