Re: My snake is not looking so good...
The tenth rib back looks like it maybe broke. Plus i think it's time to start power feeding if you ever want to get any real size on this guy.

Re: My snake is not looking so good...

Re: My snake is not looking so good...
Maybe he's just a little stressed from over handling? I would leave him alone until he's fully acclimated.

Re: My snake is not looking so good...
Desperate times call for desperate measures...
At the risk of being unpopular or flamed, I think it's time to try live feeding to bring some condition back to the snake.

Re: My snake is not looking so good...
Thanks, guys. I can always count on great advice from members here.
I will try them all (except for live feeding...he's never able to catch the prey).
