Hello, it's unfortunate this has to be my first post, but here we go.

I just picked him (or her) up a few hours ago. (Pictures were taken as soon as I got in the car) As you can see, he's very thin. I don't know his age or history, his old family said at least a year old. He also has quite a scar on top of his head that leads up to a hard bump at the top of the scar. He was being kept with another BP in unsuitable conditions and has retained shed on his body. I ready have a vet appointment set up for tomorrow morning, but I wanted to see if anyone had tips for feeding him or any special care.

He had a fantastic food response and happily took a f/t adult mouse. He also drank quite a bit. Should I stick with weekly feedings or a different schedule? Prey size or type?
I also soaked him a bit before feeding to try and loosen the shed, but some still remains.

I have him in a 32qt tub with UTH on a thermostat and all the other necessary equipment. However, I have him on paper towels, but I got to thinking maybe some eco earth or reptile prime would help him out better with the shed and up the humidity a bit more.

This is my first BP, but not my first reptile or snake. I've been planning on getting a 2018 hatching, but seen this fellow and I couldn't leave him to die.

Thanks for any tips you can give! I really want to give this poor baby a fantastic home. He deserves it!
