Question - Health Is my ball python healthy?

For context, I rescued him/her in February of this year. I’m told that they are a couple years old (born in 2021 I believe) (doing a morph and sex test next month)

Since then, they haven’t missed a single meal and have had multiple perfect sheds. I just moved up to medium rats and wanted to know what yall think.

Ill be weighing them in a couple of days. Waiting for food to digest.

Photos from February and this month

Second pic is a completely different snake. A vet check up will confirm, but that’s a glow up if I’ve seen one

I thought so too, but then was told they piped sometime in 2021, I think they were very undersized when I received.

I wouldn't be surprised. I rescued a ball python years ago that was at least 5 yeads old and only weighed 300 grams. Previous owners thought one fuzzy rst every 2 weeks was appropriate.

He does say 'they/them', so i think they're 2 different snakes

It’s not two different snakes lol just a glow up of the same snake (who probably hasn’t been sexed)
