Hi guys, first time posting, just after some advice! I purchased a Murray Darling hatchling (hatched late Feb 2019) the breeder said he was a slow starter & was finally eating properly at 4 months old when we took him home in June.
He was maybe 35-40cms long. After he came home, he refused to eat for 6 weeks. Finally got him to take a feed by leaving it in the tank, then moved up to him taking it off the tweezers. I was speaking to our local reptile expert & she suggested doubling his meals so last week he had his pinkie & we choochoo trained a second pinkie. This week he refused his feed.
He hasn't shed, he hasn't grown, he hasn't lost condition. He's between 30-50cms shorter than our other snakes of the same age & I'm worried if he doesn't start growing soon he's going to become unwell!
Any advice is appreciated! Picture for reference of current size.
