Underweight rescued BP

[Kenzieburgess]

I'd feed her the same (small adult mouse) for a while...see how she does. Her digestion might be slower than you think right now...see IF she's hungry in a
week...it might take 10 days or 2 weeks before she's ready to eat again. Just see how she does, take your cue from her, ok? I know how badly you want her
to put weight on, but better to do it slowly...especially since you have no medical history on her. For example, IF she is skinny because of internal parasites,
when you feed HER a bigger meal, you also feed THEM a lot more, & that can harm (even kill) the snake if -IF- they expand & block essential functions. See?
As I said before, her weight probably has nothing to do with parasites & everything to do with a negligent owner, but no way to know just yet, so go slow.

Have you looked closely for mites too, btw? A skinny snake can get dehydrated & die much faster from mites than a healthy one...so hopefully no mites.

Okay, I'll do that. Thank you. And I checked her out when I brought her home and didnt see any mites, and didnt see extra saliva in her mouth. She otherwise seems pretty healthy but in quarantine right now nonetheless. I really appreciate all the advise from everyone and I will do my best to post updates on her!
