    New amazon pic

    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.But tonight he ate a live rat pinky ALL BY HIMSELF: 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.
