Skinny baby..

[Joci]

I also agree with assist feeding as a last resort..but I've just never had a ball python look this way when i received it.. I'm not sure when 'last resort' should be since I've only had her a week.. I have no idea how long she has looked like this before I got her and my three other snakes are thriving in their environment. Which is the same setup as her's, only larger. I'm very torn. I want to at least give it another week but If she dies in the mean time i know I'll beat my self up over it for waiting. Id love to bring her to a vet but she is obviously stressed out from her journey here , i still can't decide of that is the best option

Well if you are afraid that she will die, then bringing her to the vet would probably be the best idea. It can't hurt, even if it does stress her out a little. The first priority is for her to survive.

And also contacting whoever you got her from. They should have NEVER sold you a snake in that condition.

I'm sorry you have to go through this!!

Thank you guys for all of your help. I brought her to a local ball python breeder who has 20+ years experience and he is going to keep her until she is rehydrated and eating. He seemed hopeful that she was going to pull through
