Isn't that bad for them???

well..... sort of. I mean very few people have a truly fat snake. A nice plump snake is always a good sign. A very obese snake on the other hand would be bad. I highly doubt that there is a large amount of people with obese snakes. Typically a snake will finish a meal and call it quits until he is hungry again. Or at least most. I know my young bullnose will eat until he pukes. I once went as far as I would let him and he took 6 large mice! "keep in mind he could go further but I would not let him." I would not worry about your snake getting to fat if I was you. Its rare, and as long as you are feeding it the "normal" proportions for its size, don’t worry. Its only him being thin I would worry about. Post a pic if you can & we'll all know.
P.S. For the record, the snake being overweight is a health issue that can and should be adressed. Its just not as common as the snake being to thin...lol
