Year-old corn snake

[Bogertophis]

Thanks for all the help! I'll take him to the vet, and I will defiantly keep a close watch for mites. Let's hope he doesn't have any. One last thing: he's supposed to get fed tomorrow, should I wait a few days to let him get settled in?

Good question! Wait until you see the vet with him...don't feed yet, as going to the vet can cause him to regurgitate his meal anyway, & if he's given certain
medications that can be an issue too, so it's just best to wait. I'm so glad that he has a caring new owner now, I really hope for a good outcome- and no mites!
And yes, even if he was healthy, it would be better to wait a few days to let him settle in before feeding...but in THIS case, see the vet first.

Do keep us posted...corn snakes are wonderful pets (I currently have 5 & have bred them in past years) & I'm happy to help you sort this out. I just wish you'd gotten
an easier start with keeping a pet snake.
