    Underfed or sick?

    Just handled my 3 1/2 year old 3.5' male BP and noticed he's looking rather triangular when he lays flat on my arm - his spine is quite pronounced.

    Haven't weighed him, but I've never noticed this before now. I had been thinking his prey wasn't big enough recently and was thinking about moving to rats. Surely though, even if his prey were a little on the small side, he shouldn't lose that much weight that quickly?

    I plan on taking him to a herp for peace of mind but wondered if there's anything in particular that's likely to cause that kind of weight loss that quickly?


    Thanks in advance

    Edit: Sorry - Should have added no problems or refusals to eat whatsoever.
