I think your right that he is a little under weight. I fed him a hopper for the first time last night and he attacked it without hesitation. this makes me think he may have skipped his last meal at the pet store. My friends BP that i discribed looked healther from the same store, wasn't interested in his mouse at all. i have him in a 30 gallon long, he has both an under tank heater and a lamp both on mid power with a dimmer, this maintains about 86F day and 80F at night. I have turf as a substrate with a little aspen shavings in the corner with his hide box. his humidity is holding around 65% (not hard to do in south east texas) with just a large water bowl. Please let me know if you see any problems with my set-up. I appriciate the advise and will feed him a few more times to see if he fills out before i get to concerned.

Thanks Again,
Wade
