is this a problem??

hi, my ball pythons skin feels kinda loose, not like, sagging loose, but kinda loose, and he hasnt been eatin noramlly lately, i think its cuz of the winter fasting, im feeding him either one or two adult mice, it depends if he wants one or two, or even one at all. i think i should move it up to a rat, but the person told me not to feed him rats untill he eats two mice regularly. is the skin being a little loose a problem?

theres pictures in the photo gallery on the site

Sounds like your bp may be losing weight from fasting or has loose skin because it is dehydrated. May want to consult a vet.

If it's dehydration you should notice dry flaky scales, possible dented eyes as well.

If it's fasting then you should do your best to get it eatin. Could be a serious problem, may not be. The skin on my herps gets loose around shed time.
