Pinkies should be your food of choice for this animal. I don't think the pinkies are the problem.



I have a few questions that will help us help you...



Where did you get this 6 week old Nelsoni? I ask this b/c most adults are just coming out of hibernation now & will begin breeding & egg laying in the next few to several weeks.. meaning your snake may be small for it's age and older that you think..



What temp are you keeping him at? and what are you using to heat the tank?



Do you have a hide box in with him?



What are you using for substrate, and could he have consumed some of it?



Have you had a vet check him for parasites?
