Re: Visible obesity...

Hmmm, I never really thought about them doing that while growing. Deejay did go on a major growth spurt in the last few months........I'll keep an eye on that.

Re: Visible obesity...

So, ultimately, the effects of snake obesity are premature death and liver failure, correct?
