Yes I would say when Punkin was underweight there was a difference in how she looked when she breathed compared to our other one Baby whose never been underweight. Hard to describe but more of a pronounced breathing where her sides moved inward more than Baby's would. Remember tho Punkin was not severely underweight, she was more undersize in both weight and length for a snake her age due to a life of barely maintenance feeding (compared to feeding that would have allowed proper growth in length and weight). She was not horribly triangular, just more triangular than a properly fed snake her size should have been.

Have you found a local vet that has snake experience? You may want to consider taking the snake in for a check-up and fecal to make sure that this low weight isn't caused by any physical problem. Our vet will see a snake and do sexing for around $50.00 and another small fee for fecal sampling (if you call around they should quote on this for you). It may be worth the extra stress on the snake now to make sure you aren't facing any issues other than just needing some peace and quiet and good tucker. I wouldn't move her tho until she's had a good 2 or 3 days to fully digest that meal.
