Hey guys just thought i would post this..

[Gordon21]

well guys i went and got me some clamps today and they r on nice a tight and i got him a small rat to start out with and i had no prob took him out in no time and ima get him like 2-3 more smalls every 5 days 1 a week and then move to med rats cuz that small was nothing lol

[stratus_020202]

That's good. I would probably cut him back to every 7 days though. he seems to be a healthy weight, and you wouldn't want him to get too fat on you

[Gordon21]

well hes about 1500g and at 3 1/2 foot long and has loose skin cuz they were feeding him one small mouse a week which is bad so i got to get him to grow back into his skin right? i would say thats right lol

[stratus_020202]

lol. 1500 g's sounds like a pretty good weight, even for 3.5 ft long. He weighs more than my guy, and I think he's just a tad longer. But it's hard to say without pics of the actually snake.

So, I'll take your judgement as the best Just watch his weight to make sure he isn't gaining too quickly.

yea well like from pics i see others r nice a round and mine hes is like very loose skin like when i go to grap him its hard cuz like its so loose like i go strait to his bones like i said they fed him a small mouse a week so that would of made him lose weight right ? so i just got to get him back into shape and thnks for the help and stuff

[stratus_020202]

Ugh. That does sound bad. Poor little guy. Glad to see he's finally eating what he should be. Good luck!

[Gordon21]

yea same here and thnks

Just another suggestion.
Loose skin could also be caused by the snake being dehydrated. I know you said your humidity was good. You might want to double check that. Humidity in tanks with a heat light is notoriously hard to keep in a good range. He might not have had enough access to clean water to drink at the place he was before.
Good luck with him.

Soaking isn't the same as them drinking the water. They do get some liquid from their prey. However, I do see my balls drink out of their water bowls. They especially like it when the water has just been changed. They have even drunk while I'm holding them--while I'm putting them back in the tub.
Not trying to pick on you just trying to help.
