My advice at this point would be to find out if he was eating live, pre-killed, or F/T and offer him whatever hes used to....and keep him away from the rest of your snakes until hes spent 3 months in quarantine.

ok, thanks for your help

No worries, here to help! :)


Although I can't see very clearly, and I'm no expert, that looks like a VERY underfed snake. I would offer some food asap, maybe a small hopper (live would be ace, it's more appetizing) and make sure you supervise it. Let's just hope it's nothing serious.

Get some meat on that baby!

Get some meat on that baby! I know how you feel, I've got a new arrival too. Almost 7 weeks old and has only had one meal/shed. Don't be discouraged.

That little dude definitely needs some meat on his bones. It can take them awhile to settle in to a new place. What is your set up like? What have you got for hides? First you need to make him feel secure, then you will have better chances of him eating. If you have been handling him, stop. Leave him be until he has eaten a few times in a row for you. After you have left him be for a few days, try a live mouse hopper (stick around and watch, don't leave them alone). Or, a rat pinkie, or fuzzy which ever would be size appropriate for him. If you get a live one, with its eyes still closed, you can try leaving it in with him overnight. Chances are it will be gone in the morning. Good luck, I hope he eats for you!

i kmow i need to feed him live, but i cant find any breeders near me or anything

Where are you located? Maybe some members here can help you find someone.

It is really hard to tell from that blurry picture if the snake is in fact underweight. You will notice a distinct triangular shape to the body rather than a round and plump shape.

Keep handling to a minimum until the snake starts eating.

Also, if it is a husbandry problem, we can help, but we need some info from your end.

Im located in redding, california
