    Update on my BP Duke

    So Duke has been doing well, I'll have him 2 weeks Tomorrow and he shed today and looks extra awesome so I thought I'd post a update and a couple of pictures.

    First off I bought him on May 30th, he seems a little skinny but not bad. I tried on the 31st, 1st, and 2nd with a F/T mouse to feed but he wasn't interested at all. So I bought a live mouse and he took it right away on the 2nd. I then decided he still looked a little skinny with minor amounts of loose skin in certain areas and tried to feed him another live mouse on the 6th, which he eat no problem. I then fed him again yesterday on the 11th and he now has a nice full look with no loose skin.

    I noticed he bagan to look dull around the 8th with some blue color to his eyes, today when I got him my wife said what is that in the terrarium? When I looked it was a skin and he looked bright and clean, it was a perfect shed and I'm so pleased.

    Here are two nice shots.

    Keep feeding on the 5 day schedule til he reaches 400g in weight, then you can switch to a 7 day schedule.

    He looks good.

    He's a cute little guy, but does look a little too skinny, but I don't know what he looked like when you got him. Just keep giving him the proper care and food items every week and he'll put on weight in no time.

    Glad he's feeding and looking better. If you have feeding issues in the future, I would advise against trying to feed everyday like that though. Give him a few days in between attempts and you may see better results. Looking forward to seeing him as a big, fat bp!
