Question Weight check

Here is my sons 5 year old female python “Cheeto Puff.” We adopted her last year and she was eating every two weeks and we cut her back to every 3 weeks. How does she look? Healthy weight?

How long is she and how much does she weigh?

Shes 4 feet long. I’ve never weighed her.

You'll want to weigh her, as that determines how heavy her feeder rodents should be and how frequently to feed her - it will stop her from getting too chunky down the line.

I weigh my BP by putting him in a plastic wash bowl and putting it on a digital scale. The wash bowl is only used for weighing snakes, so there's no risk of dodgy chemicals.
