i got my sumatran blood a while ago, and i'm getting kinda nervous still. He's the only snake i'm not sure of. I got him around January, so he's (has been sexed a male) about 6 months old now.



He has been a real pain to get to eat. He will actually eat, about once or twice a month, but only 1 mouse at each feeding. I was told to give him some more time around March, but he's not picking up his feeding habits, and i'm not seeing much growth. Should I be afraid, or again, am I worrying too much?



He's a little more than a foot long (last time i measured him, he may be 1.5 now). He's still kinda on the bony side, but apparently their body structure is different than the ball's (i have 11 snakes in my bedroom right now, 10 being balls).



He had parasites when i purchased him, but i gave him shots, and medicine, and then he started eating again, and is much better. He has shed last week, which will be his 2nd shed since i got him. He shed about a week after i got him, so he's shedding about once ever 6 months right now, compared to my balls which shed every month it seems.



What do you guys think?
