Snake in trouble. Please help

[Xacred]

Hi Guys,

I have issues. My boss just gave me a snake that was owned by her daughter who is now in the navy and can't take care of it anymore. I accepted the gift but I don't know anything about snakes and I think this one is in very bad shape. Here are what I know:

- The snake is a ball python.
- It might be a year old but regardless is tiny. It fits on my hand
- It was fed only once a month because that's what the owner thought it should do
- It never had one side of the cage with any kind of extra heating.
- The cage only has a heat lamp up on top and the temperature is 80 degrees on the cage even under the lamp.
- The sneak hasn't had any food in over a month now. It didn't tried to eat the last live mice it was given. In fact the thing started biting the snake and it wouldn't defend itself.

What's the problem?
- I only got this sneak yesterday. I never had a sneak and I know little about it. I've been doing a lot of research to try to save the animal.
- The coloring of the snake and the eyes look good
- The sneak crawled around my hand weakly yesterday but since then it barely moved.
- In over 24 hours it's not move one bit or shown any signs of anything.
- I put a heat pad under the tank and now it seems to have the appropriate temperature but humidity is at 10% on the gauge even though I live in Florida. How do I raise this? Bad gauge?

My thinking based on the little I know about snakes:
- I feel the animal has been overly handled due to the owner going to the navy. She probably grabbed her too much and now coming to my place it probably freaked it out even more.
- The lack of food being fed only once a month for a year and now going 6 weeks without a meal is probably made it weak.
- The animal hasn't move not even a tiny bit in the last 18 hours.

Perhaps a trip to the vet? I don't want to freak this animal anymore. I know little about this snake having just got it yesterday.

Please let me know. Any good advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
