My snake has been missing for 2 and a half months and I just found him, and I know he hasn’t had food and I’m pretty sure he has had essentially no water the whole time, he is in his tank now and has had water, but when I tried to feed him he refused the mouse and I’m going to try again later but I’m worried about him, he also has a seemingly yellow tint to the underside of him and there are some parts on him that I can see a little damage.

I'm glad you found him! Since he was missing for so long, an exam with your veterinarian or an experienced herp vet would be strongly recommended to diagnose and treat any illness or injury. In the meantime, give him a good soak in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte. This will warm him up and provide hydration. Once he's warm and hydrated, he will be more likely to accept prey.
