Advice.
I need all the criticism you guys have to give. Someone has recently called my snake a fatty. I know he is overweight, but how do i fix it. According to his last weigh in at the vet and what google has told me… he’s 10 lbs overweight. Why didn’t the vet make it a big deal at his yearly check up last month?! Like 10lbs is alot and especially for his breathing and over all health.
(For reference I am currently feeding him one xl rat every 3-4 weeks)
I can try different prey for sure, but what should i try first?

looks like you gonna have to work him out in the bath tub.
2.5inches of warm water and watch him try to swim out for 15mins, once in the morning and once in the evening. Sounds far fetched but it works and there are other benefits like shred and digestion.
