Looks like he is a little underweight.

have you weighed him? how old is he? what are you feeding and how frequent?

to me he doesn't but a pic farther from him would be good

He last weighed at 127 and is only 3 months old now. I don't have my own scales yet, I feed him live small hoppers every 4 days.

you can feed him bigger mice at that size a hopper is a bit small for him.

Ok so a small mouse then? They look either his girth slightly bigger

Here is the mouse, kind of hard to see it, but that's about his girth

he doesn't look underweight to me. but a slightly bigger mouse wouldn't hurt him. i usually feed my little 90g bee a hopper but i tried a small mouse because thats all they had when i bought em and he took it down with no problem

Cool that's actually what I gave him this last feeding thinking he looked a little thin. Hopefully that will help better!! Glad he can eat small -medium mice, that means I can actually buy from peatland now lol

I wouldn't say he is thin to a point of worry, but a bit thinner than I would like to see. He is definately ready for a bigger prey item. They can get down anything that is the same as their widest part. Hoppers are what most people feed hatchlings. I would try to make the switch to rats too.
