Echo REALLY picky about food.

He went through a move in April and got stressed-- lost some weight and his tail got REALLY thin. Vet advised to feed pinkies to fatten him back up.
Now-- he refuses anything BUT pinkies and has become a bit aggressive about being touched. (Thinks fingers are mice!)He's fattened back up and is eating 1-2 pinkies each week. refuses crickets and worms of ANY kind. Good news is he WILL eat defrosted frozen pinkies.

He's the 1st Leo I've had, and I really am enjoying him. Vet said it's not going to hurt him to only eat pinkies-- but wanted to get other opinion as well.

he's just short of 8 inches and a LOVELY yellow with some tangerine on his tail and green on his eyelids.
The photo attached is when we FIRST got him-- he was about 6 inches here. MUCH more yellow now and fewer spots. Any idea what kind of Morph this is?? still has the tangerine on his tail and the green on his eyes.

sounds like hes hooked to pinkies.. i would suggest to try and get them off they only should have at lease once a month for a pinkie ....

and he could be some kind of tangerine.
