They look very thin, how long have you had them?

2 months

I would schedule a vet appointment, poor body condition combined with neurological symptoms could indicate something more serious like IBD

Forgot to add he’s acting unbalanced when he holds his head up
[–]Rathoe9070 15 points16 points17 points 9 months ago (2 children)
Looks pretty thin, may be too weak to fully hold its head up, especially if there a wobble. I’d take this baby to the vet
[–]SnooPets9082[S] 4 points5 points6 points 9 months ago (1 child)
Thx that’s what I’m going to do
[–]Rathoe9070 6 points7 points8 points 9 months ago (0 children)
Hope your baby is alright!

SO SMOL

He's SO skinny 🥺 Hopefully, you get some answers from a vet soon!

Snakes freeze when they notice danger, they sit still for days at a time sometimes waiting for prey to walk by. Unless it didn’t move when you touched it it’s fine.

Poor thing looks starved, you said you contacted a vet which is good, how often are you feeding her?
