Dehydrated ball python update.

I posted a few weeks back as a new snake owner who was struggling a bit with getting the enclosure set up right with proper heat and humidity and the lack of a good digital thermometer/hydrometer which caused my snake to look extremely thin. At that time I thought it was THIN and was worrying about getting it to eat. Since then I've fixed up the temps and humidity and over all the enclousre is 100% better which resulted in a dehydrated snake doing a 100% turn around. And since then he has also eaten twice, mice frozen thawed! I really just want to thank everyone who gave me advice on here and especially want to thank LLLreptile for reaching out to me before I contacted them. So thank you!! My snake is good and healthy now. Here are some of the before and after pics of Sinatra

nice turn around!

looking so much better, try offering rats.

I wouldn't offer anything different until the little guy gets a good few meals in him. Wait till he gets a decent weight then offer rats.
