Re: "I feed him a small rat every 2 weeks"...
A true small rat every two weeks would be more than enough to keep a male at a good weight...so chances are that was a lie.
Good job on the rescue, and if its any consolation, I've seen a lot worse. Good luck with him!

Poor snake; are you sure they didn't mean every two months? Or eons? At any rate, it's great that you've got him now and can give him the right kind of life.. awesome!

If the guy is telling the truth, then the snake might have parasites ... which could be inhibiting the snake from growing fat.

Definitely a candidate for a fecal and good quarantine. Glad you've got him now and can get him on a steady feeding routine with good husbandry. That's likely take care of his problems as long as there's no underlying health issues.

Good point
I would keep him on strict quarantine and like Jo said, get a fecal ran on him.. glad again that you found him.
