    New BP owner - is he too skinny? How old?

    Hi! So I just bought my new bp from a breeder at a reptile show and I've only had him for a week now. His temperament is amazing! He seems to really love his new home and seems to be doing the proper things a bp does, such as use his two hides on both the hot and cold side during the day, very occasionally roaming, and then being more active at night. I've caught him soaking his little neck in his water too! So he seems to be happy and healthy to me, however, since I am new to this and after doing some research I feel that he may be too skinny! The breeder I bought him from seemed to be one of those breeders that owns hundreds of snakes and is more business-y. I think he just through out that he was around 7 months, but I'm starting to think he's 4-5 months. If not, then he may be really thin.

    So I need help! Can you guys let me know what you think of his weight and age? Maybe let me know if he looks healthy! I am going to post a lot of pictures from different angles.










    His name is Mochi and I hope my little guy is okay! He wasn't interested in his first meal and I'm going to try again Tuesday. I only have medium adult mice but I am getting medium rat pups on next Saturday!
