Weight concern


I just recently purchased this Bp from a seller on here. He hatched 11/22/25, weight is 135 grams. I received him the 25th and he ate successfully. He just shed, full shed, eye caps also. After taking him out to interact with him. This is how h looked and I’m curious if he is underweight. He looks skinny to me.

Looks fine to me, most ball pythons in captivity are fairly overweight so that’s what people are used to seeing, but they shouldn’t be completely round

Ok. Thanks that’s good to know. I’ve only had him a couple of weeks, so still getting to know him. Thank you

Thank you! He had JUST JUST shed! His name is Striker. I assume you could imagine why he adopted the name.
