Yep sadly the scale is correct I checked it. He hasn't shed since I have had him so I guess that's possible. That would be nice if he was just waiting to shed. I haven't tried live yet. Im going to do that next. If that doesn't work there is a breeder that has a small shop around here. I'm going to see if he help with assist feeding or force feeding but that's a last resort.
The place I got him said he was eating but now I'm not so sure they could have been just blowing smoke. I should have asked for feeding records.
I now strongly belive that he was way too small to be sold. I read somewhere that the average weight of a hatchling is about 14 to 15 grams so that make my guy just slightly bigger than a fresh out of the egg snakelet.
In all honesty I'm starting to worry about the little guy. I have had my share of difficult eaters over the years but he by far takes the cake.
