Er, few questions for you.
How much does he weigh? what size mouse is he having? Roughly how old is he? Any other symptoms? |

| Thats tiny! as GP has suggested try uping the food intake slowly, 2 pinks for a few feeds then 3 if he'll take them. If it's a very active snake it may just be using all the calories he's getting but there is always the possibility of something else going on too, I'd suggest weighing it every few weeks too just to keep a close eye. |
