 Does my BP look overwight?

We got akillie on April 24,09 when she was a hatchling. So I figure shes about 6 months old maybe 7. I have been feeding her once a week. She was eating adult mouse until about a month ago. Now I feed her Small rats. I think she may be getting too fat. I dont know how much she weighs because I dont have any scales yet. Here is some pictures of her. Your opinions would be helpful, thanks.

If you can see skin between her scales, she may be a little overweight. She looks healthy to me, but I’m no expert :) Beautiful snake by the way.

Toggle is correct. skin between the scales is a good indicator of obesity in snakes. i think (s)he(?) looks just gorgeous. i wouldnt worry too much.

I had to get a plastic mattress cover because one time Anouk peed probably 8 oz at least of urine when he was on top of my bed. It went through all the bedding and down to the mattress. Had to spend a small fortune in pet accident cleaning products to get rid of the smell. To top it off, the next week he was wrapped in my red fuzzy blanket watching a movie with me when he took the biggest poop i have ever seen. Three logs about as long and thick as my pointer finger!

so my girlfriend work for picture people and we can get pics taken there for really cheap. so i went today and brought Spike, Leo, and Harvey, and you would never guess what spike did. she went ahead and took a piss right in the middle of a photo shoot. it would have been interesting if my girlfriend would have caught it on film. so that was interesting but thankfully she managed to piss on the back drop (floor) and not on me.

she looks good . you can get a digital scale at walmart for like 30 bucks. i use it to divie up food when im not weighing my snakes.we buy food in bulk so it serves as a 2 sided tool. its self tareing so you can lay a bowel on it and zero the scale. grams pounds onces kg etc. thay do have some cheaper ones but i wanted a digital.
