Well I fed him 3 fluffs on tuesday see how he would do as he hadnt been fed for 2 weeks previously due to me not being in the country and he has 2 fluffs weekly

so fed him 3. normally his buldge wouldv'e dissappeared by now but it hasn't.



Is this normal?

Cheers

i guess its cause you've given him an extra mouse it'll take a little bit longer for it to go down? i wouldn't worry too much

Ooh also I think because of that picture I posted would be a good one to use for my question;
the 25th and 26th from head downwards er.. not sure whatt theyr'e calleed but the collection of black scales are like.. getting a grey line of scales between them,

I had this strange idea that the scale collections would "split" and move down his body as he grows.

Maybe its just a variation in scale colour, ideas?

They'll most likely be the skin between the scales.
Tubby snakes get these; like mine.. but I'm working mine on a good exercise routine now :D

Since I've handled it after a week, I've picked mine up every day at least once a day for 5-10 mins. Seems to enjoy and likes coiling tightly and intertwining on my fingers then resting the head on the top of my hand lol. I want to bath it! I might start doing that.
