just wanted to clear up things
well some good news, my sav started eating all of sudden..he seemed to stop and lose some weight but now hes starting to add on some good weight..i believe that the problem is that it wasnt hot enough..i kept the same bulb but i raised the basking spot and added a waterfall type thing to raise some humidity. Hes starting to look really good. Anyways i got some questions..Can he stay on just crix while hes still a baby? Once he becomes an adult, ive heard that you shouldnt keep them on a mice only diet, what else should i offer other then mice/rats?

thanks!

feed him crickets until hes large enough to take adult mice, then feed a variety,, superworms, crickets, roaches (giant hissers) rats.. etc.. It's hard to mimic their natural diet, most people use fully rodents with superworms and crickets every once in awhile to promote activity.
