I got him on Monday and the only thing he has eaten was some f/t pinky's that I had to assist feed. I assisted him again on Monday again mouse pinky.The first time I had to do this was four week ago at the pet store and that's the last thing he's eat until Monday other than crickets.:taz::taz:But tonight he ate a live rat pinky ALL BY HIMSELF:taz::taz:: I'm calling it a him but I don't know.

Wow he looks really thin. Good luck getting him established. I have an amazon myself, doesnt give me any trouble really. I cant to see him fill out though. What's your temp gradient like? The humidity? Again good luck.

Oh i forgot! If i were you, i would concider putting him in a 16 or qt tub, instead of a glass tank for a while, at least until he is eating, shedding, defecating normally. Just a thought. I originally had mine in an exo terra, and after a few weeks he stopped eating,so i had him in a tub because he wouldnt eat, now he eats like a beast, and i recently upgraded him to a 20 qt tall tub. Again good luck.

My temps are 90 on the warm side and 83 on the other humidity is at 62%. It's hard to keep'em fat on crickets LOL. Thats my QT tank. Thanks

Gotcha, hahaha yeah. Was he actually eating the crickets?

Awww he looks so proud of himself after he ate lol. They're such a cool looking snake I can't wait to get one someday :)
