Definitely have a look at the underside (ventral side) of the snake to see if it is convex. If it is underweight, it's time to act. Personally, I'd force-feed something small that has been given a vitamin supplement... even a drop of vitamin into the mouth of a dead fish will suffice.

WELCOME BACK CAZ, I think we've all missed you. Hope everything went well for you.
Good news to report. My boy knocked back 2 nightcrawlers Saturday and another today. Kinda small for him, but hopefully the start of better things. Thanks for everyones help.
Mike
