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

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

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

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...
