is it just my eyes, or is that baby snake extremely emaciated the last lower third of it's body? It kind of concerned me so I thought I'd ask.

I don't know if it looks emaciated because it looks good everywhere except the lower third, it looks more like an injury or birth defect to me. Maybe a retained first shed?
