My friend picked up a normal hatchling from a breeder about 4 1/2 weeks ago. He put the little guy straight into a 55 gal. (Believe me i know...) The temps and humidity are good, but he is really lacking on hides and overall security (half logs, no side coverings). The poor thing hasn't eaten once since he got him. He asked me to come over and try to help feed him yesterday so i did. He struck the mouse, coiled and everything. So we left him to finish his meal in peace. Check him later and the mouse is sitting in the tank. I went back today to take him out and see how he was looking, and this poor snake is the skinniest i've ever seen and you can clearly see the spine on the back and feel the ribs on the belly. I don't know what i should do. It doesn't seem like he's really concerned that much because "it was only $25 for the snake", but i care no matter what. I'm afraid if i don't do something extremely soon he's gonna die, so please any suggestions at all.
