hi does anyone think that my corn snake is a bit overweight, she is 4-5 years old and her body looks huge compared with her tiny head. thanks.

Looks fine to be, but what would be better is closer pictures, and one of her vent to see if she has hips. I do love the yellow in her neck!

It's kind of hard to tell from those pix. Does she look 'fatty' or more muscular to you?

I will get a few more pics up soon, she has just ate so im leaving her alone for a couple of days. I dont think that she has hips and she doesnt feel too squidgy but her body seems about 5 times bigger than her head as if her head has forgot to grow if that makes any sense. thats why im thinking she is a bit fat.

She looks like a nice healthy eater. In the reptile kingdom females are usually larger than males.If you've never bred her than she never needed to convert stored calories into egg production. My hope is that my own snakes grow to that nice size.
