    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 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,
