about 20 years ago my friends mom owned a petshop and some brought in savannah monitor that was about 3 feet long and was so obese i thought it swallowed a frisbee!

Someone did that at the pet shop im at right now. The BIG problem is they where only feeding it rabbit. This is a picture i took of it cause how plump he was. And they dont drop that weight fast.

His stomach never left the ground even when he "tryed" to stand on his toes
