Yeah, he has been eating whole pinkies from day one, I've had him for two weeks so far. At purchase he seemed a bit thin and sure enough when I got him home he drank water for quite some time and fed the first day as well. He's rounded a bit more since then. He digests his food particularly fast... so I've been giving him a pinky every 3-4 days because he still seems a bit thin, but I guess most alterna are compared to getula? I'm a little concerned about internal parasites because I've noticed some yellow in his stool, and maybe that explains his need to feed so much. When I say yellow, I'm referring to the powder (bones?) that I typically see with their stool. The powder is white for my splendida, and I recently read that yellow can be an indication of internal parasites. I'm getting his stool checked this week just to be sure and keeping him quarantined in the mean time. Seems odd that a captive bred snake would have internal parasites isn't?
