Are you weighing him daily then? If you are just leave him alone for a week or two. He may be stressed

If it is looking bad and losing weight constantly a visit to the vet is probably your best bet.

I do not think losing constant weight is from stress alone. I would check with a vet and get a fecal done. It may have a parasite.

You assist a BP because it looses 3 grams :confusd: Seriously?
You do realize that that weight vary from one day to another.
I am curious since there is no detail here
How big is that snake, what are you feeding him (prey type and size), how often, does the animal eat on a regular basis, what is your husbandry like, handling routine,
