Well I got him on July the 5th and he was shedding. The guy said he had eaten F/T pinkys and said that it had been 3 days before that he had eaten last. The next day his tail finally shed off so I tried to feed a live pinky with no luck. Every week since then I've tried the same thing and last night I tried putting in a small plastic bowl with holes all in the top with the pinky and the pinky had a little blood on it either from the tongs I used to try to make him mad enough to strike or either he did strike at him while I wasn't looking. I tried the putting the thing in egg yolk. That did not work so I rinsed the pinky off and was going to try to do the force feed myself but I couldn't even get him to open his mouth and when I put the pinky's face up to his face he pulled back and I didn't want to hurt his head because I do not know what I am doing. I'm just scared that maybe this little guy was one of the hatchlings that may not have been intended to live or something. He moves around very well though and his color is not faded. I do not know how to put a picture up on here do you have to put one on photobucket and then put it in the URL code or can you just upload it? I do have a picture of the ad that I bought him from which is still on Craigslist but he does look a little thinner now than this:

I have talked to him last weekend and he said not to worry yet but I can't help it. He lives over an hour away too and I have just thought about seeing if I can find a reptile vet. Does anybody know how much something like that will cost?
