Skinny snake

[MissLeMew]

I got a young little bp (three or four months old) at the end of last year, and he came to me a tad too skinny and dehydrated. I just went ahead and treated him with liquids before I tried to feed him because I didn't want to stress him out to the point of no return. So with the couple weeks of recoup, and the stress of being worked on, he went just under a month without food before he ate for me for the first time.

He's healthy and happy now, eating and pooping like a pro, it's just he's not plumping up at all. He's been screened for parasites and is in the clear, but I just can't help but worry about him because he's kinda just growing longer than he is wider. Is this normal? Not sure what to do so I figured I take my questions here, cuz it's starting to make we worry a bit.

As long as he is eating, and has been vet checked, I wouldn't worry about him. Most of my females grow long first and then fat, except for my little spider, and that only because she is a pig. My normal male also is pretty small.

Sometimes it's just how they grow.

As long as he is gaining weight rather then loosing weight then there shouldn't be an issue.
