Does Pylox look underweight?

[Tonald Drump]

I'm handling him right now, but here are some pics.

As you can see, his spine is kind of prominent, also his skin is kind of loose, I can kinda gently pinch his skin, and I can really pinch it near his neck. HELP!

He looks like a good size to me.

Upcoming shed can cause loose skin too.

If he's a good feeder maybe offer him an extra mouse next time or a bigger one ?!

The thing is, he just shed exactly a week ago, and in the two times he's shed, he has done it on routine, every month.

Is it possible for them to eat 2 mice at the same time? Not being rude, genuinely asking

He's maybe a tad stressed .... I'd consider sticking some black paper or card on the back and sides of the tank to offer a but of security . The tank will seem very open to him as it is , I'd guess .

Your snake might be stressed because of poor husbandry. Could you go over your hot side temps, ambient temps, cool side temps, and the humidity of the enclosure for us? Just to rule that out first and foremost. How long have you had your fella?

It’s hard for me to tell how large he is just by looking at the pictures but it seems like mice are going to be way too small for him anyways. Instead of going with multiple mice, try switching over to rats. It looks like he could handle at least a rat pup maybe even a weaned or small rat.

Regardless he doesn’t look underweight but if he has loose skin and the spine is showing, it wouldn’t hurt to up the size.
