Hey! So I just sort of rescued this enchi pinstripe ball python, 2 weeks ago someone just dumped/abandoned their BP at my local reptile store. While I was there getting crickets for my frog I noticed it and asked about it since it's a $350 BP they where selling for only $100, got the back story which was stated above and decided to take it (I already had a set up from my other snake I had just recently upgraded with a bioactive vivarium and all new equipment and everything). Additionally I noticed how insanely underweight it is. So I was wondering, what are your experiences with underweight BPs, and how did you gain the weight back without over feeding? Also, someone told me to try feeding her baby rabbits as that will help her gain weight really well? I am going to add some pictures of her although it was hard to capture just how skinny she is, showing her spine as well as her concaved belly. I think the pics do her justice as she doesnt look as bad as she really is *in my opinion*
*ps*, I know your not supposed to cause they need adjustment time, but she seemed super calm her first day with me in her new enclosure so I attempted to feed a small adult mouse (it's all I had at the moment for my baby bp) and she ate it really well after only having for about 4 hrs.
Thank you in advance for any and all advise
