    Every two days?! Holy cow. I think that's a little over doing it. My females eat a small rat once a week. That's it, and my males are on smalls every 2 weeks. Maybe once a month during breeding season.

    I would make sure his hot and cold side temps are perfect, good humidity, and give him a week or two before trying to feed again. Too much is going to stress him out even more. How big is his enclosure? Have you tried not taking him out to feed him?

    And, when you say "overnight" it's not a live rat is it?

    yes every 2 das or so but like i said that is my burms retics and rock pythons with super high metabolism.. everytime they "unload" i offer food... idk what size tank she has him in. she has tried to feed him in a shoe box the bathtub everything so idk maybe to much handling is the issue
