When their saddles get the skin showing through them (i beleive the grey line in his saddles is skin?) Does that mean theyr'e overweight..?

Possibly a fat snake

to make him lose a bit of weight; how often do you feed him? and what do you feed him?

A good way is making him up your stairs (if you have some)
Make him swim in the bath (don't do this TOO often, this can cause scale rot!)

and handle for 25 minutes daily!

seems fine but is the mouse a medium, large, or XL?

How often do you handle him weekly? (baring in mind no handling 48 hours after din dins and I advise against feeding in shed but I'd be a hypocrite.)

okay well if you can get a weight on his soon would be good for us to help you structure a diet and exercise regime

A daily handle (besides after feeding would be a good start )

I was just about to say he looks a little round, cut his feeding down and make sure he has things to keep him interested and active in the viv.
