    Does Pylox look underweight?
    I'm handling him right now, but here are some pics.

HELP!

    He looks like a good size to me.

    Upcoming shed can cause loose skin too.

    If he's a good feeder maybe offer him an extra mouse next time or a bigger one ?!

    The thing is, he just shed exactly a week ago, and in the two times he's shed, he has done it on routine, every month.

    Is it possible for them to eat 2 mice at the same time? Not being rude, genuinely asking

    It’s hard for me to tell how large he is just by looking at the pictures but it seems like mice are going to be way too small for him anyways. Instead of going with multiple mice, try switching over to rats. It looks like he could handle at least a rat pup maybe even a weaned or small rat.

    Regardless he doesn’t look underweight but if he has loose skin and the spine is showing, it wouldn’t hurt to up the size.
