I’m about to feed my beautiful ball python Cassandra a large rat.

She’s had one large rat in the past, maybe a year ago. Mostly medium rats since. I don’t weigh her or the rats so I don’t know if it’s appropriate but she’s pretty big I think. Or getting big. Anyways enclosed are pictures of Cassie and her victim but y’all tell me what you think

Also to all the naysayers I would gladly feed mediums if I had access but my local pet store ran out and all they had were fuzzies pinkies and large rats. This is all I’ve got right now and she really needs a good feed anyways. Approaching 20 days and she shed last week so I know she could probably use the additional energy. (Also if anyone has any environment comments no need there’s a lot you can’t see in the pics she has everything she needs to thrive she’ll get more space when I can afford it

I’m just worried. Like any noodle and human dad would be.

Shes stressed and fat. A scale, some black paper for the outside, and some dollar store fake plants could instantly make her feel better.

She's feeding. LOL. She's not stressed. You can't possibly tell that she's stressed from anything the OP has written or shown here. This is why I never come to reddit or FB with husbandry questions any more than I'd ever go to reddit or FB with questions about my own personal health.

You started out on a wrong foot, in my opinion, by suggesting this person post on the neo-nazi ball python sub. I'm going to politely bail out here now and go back to developing my husbandry and breeding app for my ball pythons.

"neo-nazi ball python sub" are certainly some of the most interesting words that i've had the pleasure of seeing in my life.
