Skinniest Ball Python I've Seen - How Will We Help it?

This emaciated ball python was sent to us a few weeks ago and has not eaten in 5 months. Although the previous owner did everything they could, it only ever ate one meal and is withering quickly. Here's our plan on how to help this guy out, and get him to perfect condition.

That king snake has dreams of becoming a python.

I’VE NEVER SEEN A FAT SNAKE WITH ROLLS IM SORRY BUT IM SCREAMING

[juanestrella]

Oh my god that king snake looks fat! And that poor ball python, I hope all of snakes get better

Snake discovery recently had a case that due to lack of proper nutrition developed a neurological problem they could be similar cases

*saw thumbnail and immediately went down to thaw my noodle a snickity snack*

Do you think the snakes look at you and go "that's a thin boi too" 🐍

I've purchased from emerald scales in the past. My milk snake is doing amazing. I'd love to adopt one of the two ball pythons once they've gotten a little healthier.

My boa when he was emaciated had a lot of the same wobbles as the Spiders. It's really upsetting to see, but it went away as he gained his strength back.

Wow when you held that pied up I was like aah its not the worst then you held up the albino and my heart broke..

[Thunderyena]

My heart breaks for the albino bp clinging onto life, I hope he makes a full recovery. The neurological issue is strange, I wonder if it's due to starvation and if it's a permanent issue. I'll be following his story closely.

Thank you for doing all that you do for these animals.

There's nothing more depressing than seeing bone-thin animals. :(

[ellesreptiles]

That poor ball python. Like just....how.

[GodZirra]

Hopefully the albino makes it. Seems optimistic with him feeding but he's in such bad shape it would not be all that strange if he just died out of the blue.


 I can't believe someone let him get to that point.

The king snake looks like an overstuffed sausage

This is giving me war flashbacks. I have a ball python now that I rescued from a home that underfed him consistently and claimed he "wouldn't eat" and was "aggressive" so they couldn't keep him anymore. He was extremely underweight and I truly thought the owners did everthing they could at first. They sounded so convincing and really acted like they cared about him. I quickly realized they were just very good LIARS. He was so weak. He wasn't as underweight as the ball python in this video but VERY CLOSE. I waited about 3 days for him to settle into his new tub (I had to redo so much. The tub he came with was only 1/2 ft by 1 ft.) and as soon as I offered him food he took it immediately. He is also the sweetest ball python ever. He has never bitten. He hisses a lot but only because I think he was never handled in the entirety of his life. He has luckily gained a lot of weight and is doing great with me now! As soon as he recovers completely I'm going to be moving him from the tub he's in now to a nice sized terrarium. Good luck with your ball python's road to recovery! I know how much effort it takes when dealing with a sick animal but after you start seeing some progress all the work you put into it just makes you feel so good and I'm so excited to see your little guy recover!

The king snake looks like it's meat has been stuffed into the skin *forcefully*
☹️

[MidnighHowls]

I really hope that albino pulls through, seems like it has a strong will

[dillsnickle]

its amazing how resilient snakes are tho, truly

[GoHerping]

aye early access vid. how ya doing members?

[baasparkopenings]

This is a pretty sad video but the way you were handling the piedbald at the beginning made me laugh. He just...ball. Also the king snake made me cry, he's so goofy looking (and im looking forward to hearing about Sunny!!)


I really hope that poor albino is okay, though. Ditto what some people have said about lack of nutrition causing neurological deficiencies; hopefully he can recover on his own. Ngl the way the rear sags reminds me a lot of my juvenile corn snake who passed away due to lack of food as well, and that was the last symptom she (well, he, but i called it a she) showed before she passed away. I hope he doesn't succumb to the same fate, he's a beautiful-looking snake.
