hi all. i just got a new baby ball today, and well, it appears sick? i have one other, but i got him when he was bigger, so, i'm not experienced with them this small... here's a couple of pictures of the new one. maybe you all can give me some advice or help..also, he has a bobbly head. it seems to shake around alot when he lifts it and he's not very strong. he's 16 inches. thank you.

That is one skinny little emaciated baby ball python. Try to get your money back if you still can. In the mean time, give it a good soak in tepid water and try to get it to eat something.

OH! The poor baby....he's emaciated. Have you offered food? I don't know ANYTHING about force feeding, but this looks like a good time to start, if it isn't too far along already.....
