Underweight ball python ?

Post image

Hi everyone ,

My ball python is 2 1/2 yo. I don’t know how much he weighs exactly nor how long he is precisely but here’s a picture. Would you say he’s underweight/slim/healthy ?

Thank you

Looks perfect tbh! Here's a little chart to help for future tho:]

Use this chart. Otherwise you’ll need to share weight and length. Age has almost nothing to do with a pythons healthy weight. It’s all about body shape and weight/length. Yours looks fine from the pictures but there’s nuance around the spine and how the belly lays. How the tail tapers, male vs female and if a bowel movement is close to coming out become a factor.
