And, just so keepers have the information about these non feeding or slow feeder animals...
Keep away from skin folds. That's a sure sign they're on their way out. Doesn't mean they can't be turned around but, takes a lot of effort and is a gamble...even with experience assist feeding.
Make sure you ask if that they have been assist fed after the first shed. If they've gone longer than 3 weeks after....stay away.
I hate to see keepers get burned on this stuff.....it leaves a bad taste about the species when that happens and, it isn't the animals fault.
