    Dehydrated ball python update.

    I posted a few weeks back as a new snake owner who was struggling a bit with getting the enclosure set up right with proper heat and humidity and the lack of a good digital thermometer/hydrometer which caused my snake to look extremely thin. At that time I thought it was THIN and was worrying about getting it to eat. Since then I've fixed up the temps and humidity and over all the enclousre is 100% better which resulted in a dehydrated snake doing a 100% turn around. And since then he has also eaten twice, mice frozen thawed! I really just want to thank everyone who gave me advice on here and especially want to thank LLLreptile for reaching out to me before I contacted them. So thank you!! My snake is good and healthy now. Here are some of the before and after pics of Sinatra

    I wouldn't offer anything different until the little guy gets a good few meals in him. Wait till he gets a decent weight then offer rats.
