Snake has a thin look that can result from dehydration and/or could be from lack of food. Feed a snake with food items that are the same size or slighty smaller than the thickest part of the snake's body. With a young growing snake if it takes the first food item you can offer it more. How eagerly it eats can be a clue as to how many to give it. Increase number of food items slowly (one additional per feeding) untill you learn your snakes limit.



If your snake continues to refuse the f/t pinks/fuzzies try a live one. Pinks and fuzzies are safe to put in live with your snake but dont leave anything larger with your snake unsupervised and feed prekilled or f/t when ever possible.



If it still wont eat, sent pink with anole. Or try "brained" pinks. Icky but also works.



Best of luck,
