Get some guppies from the pet shop. Throw in 20-30 so he has plenty to pick from. Also, you can use reptomin, turtle sticks or any of that commercial stuff depending on what tickles your fancy. Ally snappers and some normals seem to love krill. Also, feeding them raw beef, cube steak in particular, is great. Any tenderized beef so it is not tough. It may take a bit to get it on this but just be patient.
