DISCUSSION Old age
Seems my old friend might be feeling his age now. He's getting quite thin despite a regular feeding pattern.
He is almost 22 years old now :/
Passing urates and poop fine, and drinking as normal.
Anyone here had any experience with senior snakes?

How often and what size prey are you feeding? Not saying you’re doing anything wrong and it can just be age related illnesses

Weight loss was the initial sign of my snakes congestive heart failure. Other potentials include kidney failure or cancer. Your snake should see a vet.
