thanks for the reply. I thought that maybe my normal ball who is well over a 1000g was a female for a while since he just kept on eating but all of a sudden, he just stopped. Who knows though, maybe lllreptile sexed him wrong and i got me a lady. It's pretty funny because I offer him a rat and he just moves his head away from it like he's afraid of it. The pinstripe is just so much smaller than my normal and with his weight and the amount of weeks he's refused to eat, I just worry that he'll continue to lose weight and eventually be dangerously low. As for the Bee, I've heard of bee's and spider's have that quirk you mentioned and I sure hope he grows out of it. It just looks freaky seeing your brand new snake looking like a retard haha.
