[QUOTE="SpiderDad61, post: 102560, member: 4152"] If u want, pre kill the prey(food), and drop it right in front of the Ts hide. Check a day later and see if it's been eaten. If it ate the food, then good....perhaps it's stressed by live prey. If it doesn't eat the food, then like Enn said, it's prolly pre molt. If that's the case, simply leave it alone, except for a always fresh, full water bowl. Id try n feed it pre killed every few days or so just in case...that way the T won't be stressed by a creature jumping around it. Lastly, can't tell from ur pix, BUT if it's not in pre molt, AND it's a male, it could be that like normal, males simply don't eat as much as females when they mature. Sure seems male from that body type [/QUOTE]
