Hello Everyone,


Hope you have all had a good week, onto the topic. I purchased a male pastel, two weeks ago and the breeder said that he was feeding perfectly and I believe him. As he is quite plump, two weeks and counting now he is very aggressive any time he sees a heat source moving he strikes.


  1. He was born late February
  2. The cage I have him in is a 5cm bigger than what the breeder had him in
  3. Temperature is correct
  4. Humidity is a bit low
  5. The cage has a hide, and a large water bowl
  6. Cage is immaculately clean
  7. Breeder was feeding him on live mice, have not yet tried to convert

His cage is on top of my females cage, and she has no problem feeding

Any ideas, why he does not want to eat or his aggression?

Should I put him in a smaller cage?
Should I decrease the size of his food?


Please help me, I really want to get him eating again
