    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.

    I guess if you get hungry enough you would eat anything. I saw him eat a cricket.

    nice animal but looks a tad underweight so keep getting him those live pinkies - rats will do him better and they like the smell and taste of rats more!

    You can keep him in that tank just fine but cover the back and sides with paper so he cant see out. And put more plants in it. Plastic plants from hoby stores work great and are cheap. The more stuff you put in the safer he will feel.
