I'm just speculating here, as it's hard to judge a snake online from limited photos, but if he's been chronically under-fed, then maybe his scales have failed to grow to their normal size, because the scales on a healthy snake are supposed to overlap. Either way, don't over-feed him trying to make up for "lost time"- be very patient if you want a healthy snake. They take time to recover from adversity.
