I know my snake is obese and I started feeding him eber 10 days instead of 7 should i try ever 14 days. I am in the prosses of getting reading to build him a big cage (4'Lx2'Wx1.5'H) so he can get more exersize. What else can i do for him here is a photo...

I have the same problem with one of my males. He's been on one large mouse every 14 days for about 18 months now. Combined with a bigger viv & more exercise, he's getting better and is actually livlier than before. Sounds like you have the right idea.

Cheers

One of my female is SUPER fat!!
I am putting her on a one adult mice every month diet. She is still super fat right now. She was a thick as a ping pong ball.....and only 4 feet something....now she is getting a lot better and going to be eating an adult mice ever 14 days or so. So if you want to make them go on a diet, I think that your 14 day schedule is good enough! And make them move!!!

You could try bathing him ... apparently that's good exercise

If the snake has giant muscles that fine, good even. But if it isd fat that is very unhealthy for them
