Help, new skinny snake

[YvesA]

If he is eating... then it may simply be that he is underfed.

Either way you want to ensure, as noted, that he is set up well... for a snake that small I would give closer to 5 days (rather than 5) for an acclimation, as you do want to get him feeding.

Do you know what the previous keeper was feeding and how often? As well as the date of the last feed. If not... get on the blower and find out.

Hopefully with a few good meals, and perhaps a bit of an increased feeding schedule, he may surprise you and just take off.

They feed their snakes every Monday, so he would be fed later today if I we're to keep his schedule.
I bought him at a different store then usual, he was on special and I felt sorry for him and liked his patterns.

Nice music btw... Quebec really is the metal capital of CAN hands down.

Thanks

if it is eating its either underfed or has worms or some other type of parasite.if it was a captive hatched id say worms if captive bred underfed.id take it to the vet regardless.if you can take a piece of feces with you.

He's a CB.
I wasn't thinking about worms or parasites. A vet visit might be in order as you mentioned.

Would loose skin show that he 'was' bigger then this?
I'm presuming he's like a person that loses a lot of weight and the skin stretches, I don't know how that works for snakes though.
