GTP feeding

[Sauzo]

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.

Well, you did have him eating for you you said. Then he just stopped. I mean, you havent changed anything im assuming which is the weird part. All of my snakes will go a couple weeks without food when shedding. Pat is the exception as he shed in 8 days but went without food those 8 days.

If you changed anything in the cage between when the snake was eating and then wasnt, i would change it back. And yeah, you might want to try and live pinky.

It's just so weird how he was eating when you got him but then quit. Babies can do downhill fast which is another weird thing as it's been 4+ weeks since he ate? And he doesnt look that bad.

Only thing i can think is just use the pinky to try and piss the snake off by rubbing him, banging on him and stuff but not around the face and hope the snake grabs it from maybe a pissed of defensive bite but then will turn into a food response.
