After my snake last defecated, it has lost some weight and looks wrinkly and refuses to eat. I'm really starting to worry it has a parasite infections. What are usually the signs that a snake has a parasite?

Its normal for a Ball Python to look like it has lost weight right after a good crap, and its also common for a Ball to go off feed a couple weeks, months or what have you. So if i was you i would Weigh it and keep monitoring that OR take it for a vet checkup if your really worried.
