So both my snakes are a little overweight(read about it in the topic called 'I Have A Question' in the Health Section), this is me exercising them :)

They're on the bars of my High Sleeper bed, they love it and get it every night for up to an hour.







Sakana Head Shot(not the best...)


Oh and a quick picture of Sakana hogging the warm hide lol


She stayed like that for about 5 mins then started exploring again.

Hope you like

Thanks, I'm hoping they start to lose some weight soon as they're both overweight.

Sakana weighs 900 grams and is 5'6" long, Cereus weighs 925 grams and is 5'2" long. To be fair on Cereus it's more muscles, there's nothing to squidge on him whereas Sakana is squishy...

Hi great pics and a novel exercise method looks like they enjoy it.

Good luck with the exercise regime. Hope they don't poop on your bed lol.
I've had my MBK on a diet and exercise regime for what seems like ages,finally getting somewhere now.

Thanks Everyone, they were out again last night and it's bath time today so will be bathing them both. Got a branch to nail across today so they can climb across and hopefully be more active lol.

Awesome pictures and a great idea, even for people who's snakes aren't a little overweight. :) These guys really love to explore and get out, I let mine climb all over the place with supervision. :D

Brilliant pictures! :)
AcidicAngel Posted - 23/06/2012 : 20:53:58
Ah they weren't that bad lol
They untangled themselves and just crawled down the ladders so I picked them up and put them back.

Great pics,. wouldnt want to untangle them when time to go back though!

good idea, great pics

Your welcome, I'm currently in the process of building them a climbing frame from branches outside.
Obviously I'll sterilize all branches first.

Nice pics. My snake is also a little over weight and this is such a good idea thanks :)
AcidicAngel Posted - 23/06/2012 : 19:00:36
Yep this, daily handling and weekly bathing. I hope they start to lose some excess weight soon.
