So my girlfriend recently got a male, normal bp. He's 3 months old. She bought him from a previous owner who said that he was eating live mice and eating well. Come to find out later that she had NEVER fed him before. And she had him since he was a hatchling. Basically, the previous owner blatantly lied to her about his feeding habits. He currently weighs about 104 grams. Last night was only the 2nd time he has ever (since leaving the breeder) eaten. When we fed him last night (we fed 2 live hoppers) he would constrict the mouse and then drop it. He would then have difficulties trying to pick it back up to eat it, though he managed to get them both times. Is there any particular reason why he might do this? We'd really appreciate any information y'all can give us. We just want to give him a better life than what he had before. Also, does he look too thin? Should we try feeding him something larger, or just leave him to eat hoppers for a few weeks? Here is a picture of him trying to eat last night.
