I purchased a Russo from the White Plains show today for $50. I know this is rather low (which is why I took the gamble in the first place) and am guessing that part of the reason why the price was so low is because this snake is very thin. The person selling the snake was VERY helpful though and gave me a lot of good information on getting him back up to a good weight. He stated that the snake is thin because he does two weeks of attempted frozen feeding, then one week of live, and apparently this snake was only taking live (not a problem for me as I raise mice and rats).
I've included some photos on this thread. What are your opinions and what should I do to get this guy back up to size? The person who sold him to me said he ate yesterday.
His current weight is 62g.
