I have a baby ball python that I'm starting to get worried about. He is very small and weak. the two siblings I got with him seem to be doing fine so far. He hasn't eaten yet for me so I finally force fed him tonight (and gave him water since he doesnt seem to be drinking). He was really starting to look bed, his head is swaying back and forth, he stares off into space alot without seeing movement right in front of him, and his skin is very wrinkly and loose. I'm really worried about the possability of IBD, I cant tell if this is a case of malnourishment or IBD. I checked his mouth out tonight when I fed him and everything looked normal from what I could see, his saliva looked a bit sticky but that's about it. Can anyone show me a pic of mouth rot or at least give me a detailed description? any tips on getting this little guy healthy would be greatfully appreaciated also.

TIA
