Not being able to put on weight could be a sign of parasites and better be safe then sorry I would take him to a vet.

If you want to find an herp vet in your area http://www.arav.org/USMembers.htm

Captive hatched. Four feedings with his breeder(I have his card showing the dates), another 8 with me since then. He has missed a week or two here and there(due to shed and or inconvienances with money/timing), but not many. He seems to be completely healthy. I do not know his weight from when I first acquired him, unforunately--that is not on his card. I know he has certainly gained length and mass since I got him, though--I can look at him and tell. I will see what I can do about changing his diet into maybe a small rat and if I don't notice a change in weight, I'll take him to the vet immediately.
