    mice eaters are often slow growers it seems they just never get quite enough. It was just a thought about the F/T I am glad to see you have been trying options. One of mine is a backwards eater he also needs small meals. Fecals were clean? it really sounds like a parasite sometimes you need two clean ones a few months apart to be sure internal parasites don't always through off eggs or sections that can be seen in poop. There are DIY fecal tests if you have a microscope it isn't super hard, vet tests are better but cost more. Again just a passing thought. I have a slow grower (had) she was always fed F/T and never guessed parasites but in the end that was quite wrong she is much better now and much bigger.

    Yeah fecals were clean. I might get him tested again to make sure but the vet I took him to has 25 years herp experience so I trust them.

    Have you tried feeding him weekly? Every two weeks might not be enough. Regardless, he's beautiful!

    I offer every week but he will only eat every two. Ive tried smaller meals weekly and nothing. He just absolutely refuses on the off weeks.

    Aw. That's a really bad wobble. Poor baby. I hate that :(
    He's very pretty though and at least he eats! ;)

    Aw, poor fella. :( But like the others said, at least he's learned to adapt!

    I just posted a thread with my new spider hatchling, who decided to eat his mouse upside-down... and by that I mean the SNAKE was upside-down, not the mouse. He definitely has a spin/wobble, but nothing this bad - so I only hope his never reaches this level. And yes, I will divulge the issue to whoever buys him (he is one I planned to sell). Anyway, best of luck with your little guy!

    When I clicked on the photo, it made me download & open with Windows media... so that's probably why you can't do it from a phone.

    I clicked on my iPhone what looked like a picture. But it auto played as soon as it got big. Maybe you need to update tapatalk? iPhone just had an update :/

    To the OP, that was pretty cool how he killed his prey. But the wobble almost made me think he was dancing for his food. I never knew he could have such a bad wobble like that :(((
