Re: Underweight?
have you weighed him? how old is he? what are you feeding and how frequent?
to me he doesn't but a pic farther from him would be good

He last weighed at 127 and is only 3 months old now. I don't have my own scales yet, I feed him live small hoppers every 4 days.

Re: Underweight?
you can feed him bigger mice at that size a hopper is a bit small for him.

Re: Underweight?
he doesn't look underweight to me. but a slightly bigger mouse wouldn't hurt him. i usually feed my little 90g bee a hopper but i tried a small mouse because thats all they had when i bought em and he took it down with no problem

Cool that's actually what I gave him this last feeding thinking he looked a little thin. Hopefully that will help better!! Glad he can eat small -medium mice, that means I can actually buy from peatland now lol

I wouldn't say he is thin to a point of worry, but a bit thinner than I would like to see. He is definately ready for a bigger prey item. They can get down anything that is the same as their widest part. Hoppers are what most people feed hatchlings. I would try to make the switch to rats too.
