    98 grams at nine months old?? My man, I would start to worry.. For example I have a 9 month old that is in excess of 500 grams and eats a small rat every 7 days.. I have a female that is 7 months and eats a small rat every 7 days and weighs in excess of 500 grams.. That snake is WAY too small for that age. You need to try something different yesterday and I would suggest finding live prey quickly and get some weight on that snake before you kill it... You won't have to worry about watching a mouse die because that snake won't live much longer.. He's already dropped close to 20% of his body weight since starting to fast. Once again this isn't a 1200 gram female.

    Also, a 20 gallon enclosure for that sized animal is too large. Please make some changes quickly. I would try a small tub immediately until that snakes starts eating and gaining some weight. I would be concerned. To be honest I would almost pay you to have it shipped to me because based off of what you have said with his spine and stuff showing it's not in a good place..

    I have all the best intentions here I promise...
