    Pics are always good to post. When is the last time he ate? How long have you had him? Is he in QT from the rest of your snakes?

    Did you ask the breeder what he was eating? Sometimes they get so stressed during the shipping process that they dont eat for a bit. Is his skin saggy? It took my ghost girl almost 2 months to eat when I got her home and she wasnt even shipped. I got her at a reptile expo about 2 hours away from me. Hopefully he will pick up and eat soon.

    its saggy only when he curves, and he was eating pinkies.

    I can't see the pic (maybe it's just me, my internet has been stupid today).

    Has he been acting strange?
