Ok, I posted about this male albino ball a few days ago, but things are looking more serious than I had thought before. He just looks skinny. His spine is prominent, folded skin, especially in the neck and tail areas. He just does not look like a healthy ball python, and it has gotten worse in the last week. He arrived last thursday at 41 grams, currently he's 37. Any advice on what should be done would be greatly appreciated. Could he be dehydrated? would a liquid nutrient feeding be helpful or just too stressful? when should I start considering assist feeding?
I'm beginning to feel as though something just isn't right with this snake. If he looked anything like the other baby ball pythons I've dealt with, I wouldn't worry at all about being a stubborn feeder. He just looks...skinny.
Thanks, any input is much appreciated.
