He has light coloring down his back bone, his back bone does not stick out

very good looking, he looks very healthy. not underfed at all.

but they do grow slower when they get less food, and i think you should switch to adult / big mice, or weaned rats. feeding once per week is totally fine, but you should try bigger food.

Snakes shed as it grows. If it's not growing, it's not shedding much. At about a year old, they would be shedding about once a month and slows down as it gets older.

They also poop depending on how much they eat. My snakes eat one medium rat every week and poops about once every 2 weeks, sometimes longer.

Glad to hear about the pooping thing I was getting worried about my boy..2 weeks and he pooped .I was feeding him fuzzy mice,but this past sat uped it to small mice,which he ate well. He also looks to be digesting well,will feed him another small mouse this sat..sorry not trying to hijack the thread.
