Is my corn snake fat? He is 2'1'' but I do not know how much he weighs. For a while he was really skinny and kind of stopped growing so I went straight from feeding him double pinkies to feeding him double fuzzies. Maybe he got fat because it's winter? Aren't you supposed to feed them less in the Winter? :shrugs:

Anyway, please click on the links for pictures and tell me if you think my corn is fat. I think I am going to cut his fuzzies down to one anyway...

He doesn't look fat to me. He looks like he is starting to fill out and look more adult and less babyish.

He doesn't look fat to me. I have a rescue who was nothing but fat when she arrived.

Oh really? That's great news. I thought I was a contributor to childhood obesity:blowup:

Should I just keep feeding him two fuzzies then?

Or if he can handle it, maybe a hopper?

Nope I just think Little Peanut is growing up and becoming a big boy.

I would feed him a hopper! They probably weigh the same as two fuzzies :)

Ok thank you! I am hesitant on the hopper thing...maybe in a month or two.

He looks big enough for it, you should weigh him though and let that be the deciding factor.

Eeeek maybe you guys are right. After I feed him he always looks up at me with puppy dog eyes like he wants more. I'll see if I can find a means to weigh him.

I actually bought one there before for like $20 but then I returned it because I needed the money. Can you get a spring scale and hang them from it lol?

Put the snake in a pillow case - job done!

Now you just need to find a spring scale that measures in grammes.
