Okay will consider that, he was apparently only eating adult white mice but, they didn't say how many he was getting at a time, I was hoping to have him weighed this weekend before feeding is attempted.
To be honest when stretched out he does look considerably slimmer than adult Carpets I've seen at Expos but, I will definitely chat with the vet after I have a good length/girth and weight to provide him with.
I take it the brown is not at all unusual? In this area the non-morph carpets I have seen are all yellow, pale tan and, olive base colours.
