    Okay 766g makes more sense given his prior conditions, I take it she wasen't feeding him small rats for a very long time. Males tend to stay smaller the females and every ball python is not going to frow the same. I have a maler from '09 that are in the 900g range, and he is on small rats, his mom was just over 1500 grams. A picture would provide a better perspective on him being under weight.

    Photos to show his actual body condition would help.
    766g for an adult male is not a ad or underweight snake.
    Not everything in our lives must be fat

    I don't think he's that skinny I just think he could put a little more girth on him.

    Also keep in mind, just like us they grow at different rates.
    I have a 5 year old Albino female that it right at 800g.
    As long as they have good shape I don't worry about size.
