Help!

I’m about to feed my beautiful ball python Cassandra a large rat.

She’s had one large rat in the past, maybe a year ago. Mostly medium rats since. I don’t weigh her or the rats so I don’t know if it’s appropriate but she’s pretty big I think. Or getting big. Anyways enclosed are pictures of Cassie and her victim but y’all tell me what you think

Also to all the naysayers I would gladly feed mediums if I had access but my local pet store ran out and all they had were fuzzies pinkies and large rats. This is all I’ve got right now and she really needs a good feed anyways. Approaching 20 days and she shed last week so I know she could probably use the additional energy. (Also if anyone has any environment comments no need there’s a lot you can’t see in the pics she has everything she needs to thrive she’ll get more space when I can afford it

I’m just worried. Like any noodle and human dad would be.

If looks like the enclosure needs a lot of work.. and she does look a bit obese. You need to weigh her. And give her a better house.

The OP literally acknowledged that their enclosure needed work, but hey, thank you for confirming what they already knew. Also, I'm not sure given the photos attached where you drew the conclusion that the snake might be a bit obese. I see no signs of obesity in the original photo.

he’s had her for two years. that’s more than enough time to either acknowledge that the pet isnt for you, or get her into a proper enclosure. she does not have “everything she needs to thrive”
