This is not the snake i am asking about, it is a bit more dipped in other side of spine, eats a large mouse once a week, has just had a complete shed, is healthy looking apart from i think a bit thin.
Expert opinion please!

sounds like its eating fine. Im not as clued up on royals as others on the forums, but maybe it's dehydrated? That could cause possibly caused sunken in xx

They are quite easy to spot when they are thin, they go all triangular, their spine becomes quite prominent rather than the nice spine groove they have normally from where all the muscle(not fat ) attaches up there. If it looks like the snake in your picture then its perfectly Royal shaped.

What sort of age is it because if its an adult a large mouse will be a small snack rather than a meal.
