I've had baby boas go off feed voluntarily for about 3 weeks without looking like that. Usually it was because they wanted live prey and I didn't have any available, but continued to offer them thawed.

Any snake that looks like that has been that way for awhile. The folded skin makes me think dehydration. Snakes going downhill that far don't appear like that overnight, and certainly NOT in two weeks unless something is seriously wrong (IBD/parasites will do that).

I raise dwarf Bci, but I've seen some baby columbians before, and they were easily twice that size, if not bigger, at that age.

He should not have ever sold the snake in that condition. That's terrible. At least you got your money back.
