A friend of my cousins has had this poor snake for 8 years, and its only as long as my arm and not as big around as my wrist... He's been underfeeding it, and its got a skin problem on its back...

I'm hoping since he's probably really hungry, he won't give me too much of a fight about switchin to f/t, but I was hoping for some insight on his skin problems....

I disinfected the cage it was in, and I'm waiting on mice to thaw to try and feed it before I put it back in the enclosure... Will it clear up now that he's going to be in a clean cage, or should I try something else to help him out...

my pics are terrible, but I don't want to handle him more then I have too until he gets used to me and his new surroundings...
