We inherited a Burmese that had been slightly neglected. Apparently the owner had gone off to collage and not taken his pets with him. Mom and Dad refused to feed them, and the owner never came back to take care of them as promised. He had been feeding live rats but under feeding in order to keep him small. We started him on small frozen mice and he is more active than ever. However, if you touch him, his skin brakes like an old persons skin. I want to know if thin skin is a symptom of Mal-nourishment? He had several bad scrapes when we got him and have left him alone for about 2 months. Not handling him seemed to be smart due to the stress of being moved, then a month later moved again, only to be moved yet again. Now that we feel we can start to handle him, his skin rips. What causes thin skin in a snake?
