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...
Why would a 20 gallon be too big when bps come from the wild? Don't you mean I should add more clutter? I'm going to take the advice but I just want to understand some things.
