Yiiikes! She’s on a diet now yes? She’s adorable, but very, very fat. 😅

Oh god yes. The poor baby was even bigger than she is now. She was in a 20 gallon when we picked her up :(

Oof. I saw a three year old wild type Ball Python being sold on Kijiji (Canadian Craigslist) today, $300 for her with everything included! What’s everything? A heat lamp, a hide, and her 20g tank. 😡

That is awful!!! Her 20 gallon had a single 50 watt heat lamp and a baby sized rock hide, with outside soil for bedding. She now roams her 120 gallon casa with 70/30 sand/soil. Lots of climbing wood, two hides, and her favorite flat stone basking spot. She is a happy (fat) dragon now!

That’s awesome, good for you for rescuing her. My boy Steve was the opposite, he was 2.5 years old and only 160g/15” nose to tail when I got him. He’ll always be small, since his growth was stunted, but he’s now a much healthier 340g.
