    Little Ball back on Weight and Needs Name
    I got this guy and he was really underweight. I have spent the last couple of months slowly getting him back up to the right shape. He is eating like a champ but he is a shy eater. Everyone has to leave the room for him to eat and he has been eating two mice, since I got him, Once a week.

    I spoke at length with a Herpetologist friend of mine and he said that it might be a good idea to start slow and offer two smaller meals than one large one. He said that the metabolism would be tricked into absorbing more of the meal if it were in two pieces. So far he seems to be correct. I think I am going to make the switch soon to one meal and possibly a rat. I will update with my de-mice and rat process but I am going to try all of the normal suggested paths and let you all know which works...


    BTW it might be hard to tell from the photos because of lack of reference but he is about 16-18 inches long.

    Well, what kind of names are you into? Mythical names like Hades, people names like Mark, or funny names, like Spiderman? There's a bunch to choose from! :P
