Hey, all
Today, I adopted a spotted python. I like the look of it, though it's a bit dull, but it was given to me because it was quite snappy. It's three years old, ~80 cm long, and from what I've read spotteds aren't generally snappy, but this one really is. The first thing it did was bite my finger, and it was an eating bite, not a defensive one. Below is a pic. I'm not an expert, as I'm still new and most of my reading has been focused around morelias, but does it look a bit skinny? It's being fed on a fuzzy mouse ~weekly, which seems small to me as my bredli, which is half the length but the same width, is already on mediums, and about to go up to grown ones. Actually, when I saw it, I was surprised about how skinny it was. It's been fed, as it was overdue, and was very eager to feed.
Basically, am I imagining this, or is it actually underfed?
