    A complete and detailed description of the snake's environment is called for since this snake is a baby, has lost weight, and is otherwise healthy

    he looks like a good size and it sounds like your doing everything right.

    Try putting crumpled newspaper in its tub and leaving it completely alone for 1 week then offer a small live mouse late LATE LATE! at night and see how that goes
