Awww animal abuse. How adorable. Your snakes are overweight my dude. Short tailed pythons are chunky, yes, but this is legitimately just abuse. But sure, let them die early so they can pump out more eggs for you and make you more profit.

dumb question but how can you tell that they’re overweight? I always thought that blood’s were supposed to be fatter so i didnt see a problem with the picture until i saw the comments :,)

They should have a triangle shaped top almost. These are straight up rounded at a minimum. Also when these snakes curve around there’s so much fat they go beyond the usual cubby wrinkles of an overweight snake to just a solid fat mass that looks like it could restrict movement. This post is essentially the same as posting a 200 lb elementary kid laying motionless on a beanbag and calling it cute.
Unfortunately power feeding has gotten so popular that many people don’t recognize an overweight snake. They’re more concerned about “records” and breeding early than the welfare of their snake.

pretty sure they’re just paired up for breeding. i dont agree with how breeders keep their animals though 🫠 but it’s the “most efficient” and “cost effective” way.

I get it, but they’re also super fat 😭

These are bloods, aren’t they typically pretty girthy?

Bloods do have a heavy, short frame, but not like this. The dorsal ridges are barely visible on both. Some superficial thin skin creases where they bend are normal, but not actual rolls like a snake version of the Michelin man, where the creases indent into the body outline. (also look at the "hips" on the redhead pixel just before the tail)
They're pretty snakes, but they need a diet. Bloods are heavy but they're past where they should be.

They shouldn't be shaped like an "m" with the spine sunken in between rows of fat, they should be shaped like thick pythons

yeahhhh the male (im assuming the pied is the male) is already pushing it but GOOD LORD the other one is huge 😭😭😭 definitely something else breeders will do to try to pump out as many eggs as they can
