I only feed him one mouse a week because a few people told me he was getting over weight when i was feeding him 2 adults per week. And sometimes he refuses the second mouse, maybe ill try adding a smaller one ( hopper) and see if he will eat. As for his size, he is kinda small, he was abandoned for about a year before I was able to take him home myself, he was maybe 2 feet long I was told approx 2-3 years in age by that point, had mites, had shed issues as well. Since having him he has grown a lot he was in a 30 gal tank before but since moving him to a 40 gal ( moved a year ago) he has already grown .5". I will also put some walls up as of right now he only has a back wall, but I will get something up for the sides. I also change the water so much cause he knocks the apsen chips in there a lot, he likes to bury himself then pop up at the dish, so he knocks a fair amount in sometimes. Thank you for your info, I have attached some pictures of him, if you dont mind, can you take a peek at his picture and tell me if hes under weight?
