Your snake could definitely have parasites and still eat. Probably would not gain much weight though. I was thinking the snake could have been exposed to some chemicals or something when I was talking about poisoning. Maybe the person who gave it to you had the snake in close quarters with chemicals or something. From my experience, when someone gives a pet away that they do not want anymore, the pet in question has not been cared for properly for quite a while because the person "doesn't have time" or "doesn't want to be bothered any longer. I am glad you took the snake in and hope all goes well with the rehab. Good luck and keep us posted.
