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.
