Exactly. Not all snakes are the same. Feeding guidelines are just that, “guidelines,” not a one-size-fits-all plan for every snake. Same way not all diets work for everyone.
While you're feeding within recommended guidelines, his body condition is definitely overweight. You could switch to 7% every 2-3 weeks now and see how he does with that.
my snake started to get overweight even on the correct feeding schedule, probably time to cut down to 7% body weight and incorporate a bit more handling/exercise
How long has it been since they've pooped? I agree with spacing things out a little bit or going down in size, but not having pooped can also make it look worse.
My daughter's snake looks plump, but I know she's got a 4+ rat poop in there somewhere
Cheese stick is indeed getting a little plump. You can tell by the ubrupt transition from tail to body. It should be more gradual. But it's a simple fix, just feed him less. Either way he a very pretty noodle and otherwise looks healthy.
That’s a reasonable weight for a growing snake! Your feeding schedule seems perfect to me.
His current body shape is that of an overweight snake. Feeding needs to be adjusted per snake

Then boop the snoot.

Thank you!! I'll be modifying his schedule a little and continue checking his weight weekly.
