Worrysome weight lose?

Hey. I have a BP that has been off feed for about a month maybe more. So far he has lost about 100 g (I'll have to recheck)

What would you consider a worry some weight lose?

How much did she weigh to start with?

Losing 100g in one month I would be worried myself. How old is he? How are his living conditions? What is his current weight?

If your snake was 300 grams and has lost 100, I would worry!!
If you have an adult that weighs 1500 + I would not worry.

When I first got him we weighed 1130g

I was a little off with my numbers so I just weighed him. He weighs 1063g

I got him Feb 8 and has not eaten since

Ok now that doesnt sound to bad. Hes a big boy, I wouldnt worry too much then. Ive have some of mine poop and lose close to that amount.

Yep, I agree with Roach. As a rule of thumb... As long as he is still roundish without being able to plainly see his backbone while laying down he is fine.
Don't try to feed him everyday. You could be causing more stress. Don't handle or disturb him any more than you have to. Just keep fresh water and do minor cleanup. Try feeding once every 7th day and he will eat when he is comfortable.
Force feeding is a last resort and should be done by an experienced person.

Most likely he wasn't completely empty when you weighed him the first time.

I have a male that finally broke his fast last weekend, his last meal before that was October 8, 2013.

A few weeks before eating he pooped for the first time since last year. Yes, he digested that last meal (or few meals) from last fall over the course of several months.

Yours has been fasting for about two months and has lost 65 grams. I wouldn't worry yet.

This is a picture of him. Dont mind the tail. The prevouis owner said he got him as a rescue and he had a tail accident before.

Does he look skinny? He has sorta a weird shape.

It's a little hard to tell from that picture but on the left of the picture where he's bending... That seems to be a pretty noticeable spine to me... Correct me if im wrong. How long have you had him? It looks like he's been under fed for awhile..
