hey all, i wonder if you could help me with this issue.
my BP is around 10 months old, never really had any problems with him, but recently his skin is saggy, you can pinch it, and i know that shouldnt be so.
his eyes are fine, no crinking or anything, and his last 3 sheds have been perfect. the humidity in his box is actually quite high at the moment (around 75%), because of the weather, but that shouldnt be terrible thing because hes actually just going into shed.
i have been feeding him small mice (around 15g each) for a while now.usually around 3 a week, i guess this is the problem but would like some clarification.
what i *presume* has occured, is that the amount of food is ok, but small mice are too fatty for him?
its amazing how quickly they grow (snakes), i stocked up on 100 small mice but after about 20 he was probably ready to go up in size to large mice.
what i intend to do, is buy him 30-60g weanling rats - feed hom those and throw the rest of the mice away, please let me know if thats the best route of action, thanks.
ps, from what i can gather, hes quite heavy for his age (probably around 600g), but there arent any gaps in his scales or other such things..
