    Failed feed. Question.
    Ok, so I've been feeding Vincent every 5 days since I've had him, and everytime I prescent, he comes out of his hide and is ready.

    On friday I fed him a rat that were a little on the large side, not too big, but larger than he's used to eating. He wanted nothing to do with the normal sized rat I tried to feed him yesterday. I'm not worried at all, as I know my temps are correct, and I know that sometimes they do this.

    92.0* on the warm side and 81* on the cool side. Humidity is a steady 60%.

    My question is, if you feed them something bigger than they are used to, you think he's just not hungry at the moment, because he's still full?

    I'm going to try again on friday with a smaller rat, and if he doesn't go for it, i'm going to wait a week. Usually he's a super strong eater.

    How big is he? Typically hatchlings are fed on a 5 day schedule and after around 200g for me I go to once a week.

    Yeah, he's about 160g. That was 3 weeks ago, haven't weighed him since.. I was thinking about switching to once a week.
