Hi there

I have a question.. should I be worried my Tom is getting overweight?? I feed him every Sunday.. just started him 2 weeks ago on 2 fuzzies cause he was coming out of hiding after 1-2 days only on the 1 fuzzy and soon I will be upping him to a hopper... I'm just worried I may be over feeding him.. he has never regured.. I tried to take pictures.. hope this works..they aren't the best pictures cause he didn't want to sit still

Just hold him for 30 minutes or so be careful then put him back in his cage he should be fine and will poo it all out the exrcise of crawling around your hand helps
 
No need to feel weird. You would not believe the amount of pooh related questions I and other people ask.

Does he evacuate his bowels regularily?
 
Yeah I clean it out of his home on a weekly basis..

Well I'm happy he isn't getting overweight.. :D

Thanks everyone!

I think it's pretty hard to get a young growing corn snake "overweight" unless you are really overfeeding them a LOT. They tend to put the food resources towards growth rather than fattening up. That happens more when they get older.
 
Me: "Honey, why does Smokey have his tail up like that?"

Husband: "Because he just pooped on you."

Me: :puke01: (Not really.)
