Like mentioned, check husbandry. Hot side, cool side, hides, etc. It just helps the rest of us to rule out basic errors like that.



How long had the seller been fasting their animals for?



If the fast was natural, the snake should not be losing any weight. I would schedule an appt with your vet to make sure that there are not any parasites or any other reasons for the snake to be losing weight. I had an adult male fast (his choice, not mine) for about 4 months without much, if any, weight loss.



Good luck!
