Cause its advertised as 6 foot but look at the thickness around the neck

It looks like a solid mature snake to me, Doesn't look to be a problem.

A good size but i wouldnt say obese, for snakes u sort of look at the size of the head in correlation to body.
But if i bought that snake i prob wouldnt feed it as much

It definitely has lots of condition on it. It's not as obese as some of the captive snakes I see, but if that Diamond were mine it would be going on a diet.

Well the snake is a 'he' and he is gorgeous. I've seen him in person and I would have to say he is definately not overweight. If you are interested in him contact Dee and check him out. I'm sure you will be very happy with him.

Oh and this is the ad where he is listed for sale
