Royal Python: Lesser Platinum

Too many yet too few!!!
hi all,

This is my 08 Male Lesser Platinum. i have had a few feeding problems with this one hence his lack of weight change.

he weighed ~60g when i got him and fed on the 16-9-08, this was his first feeding for me, he was put in the dark with it and took it relativity quickly.

he refused the following 4 feedings but changed very little in weight. he fed again on the 1-10-08. he then refused the next 4 feedings and dropped to about 57g but was looking thin and had poor body condition so i assist fed him on the 3-11-08, he constricted this as soon as it was in his mouth. i assist fed with him constricting for another 4 feedings, he weighed 93g on the 11-12-08 due to the assist feeding, he shed on the 13-12-08 and i offered him food about 10-15 mins later, he struck and ate it.

his story is above but now for some pictures:
these are pictures from the 20-9-08.

thanks for looking.

pictures taken today will be posted in the next post.
 
He's pretty! Good luck getting him on a more regular feeding schedule. My male RP is a pain in the butt when it comes to feeding time.
 
Here are some pictures of him taken this afternoon. he now weighs ~150g.

He's beautiful. One thing about BP's. I have a very hard time seeing a difference between morphs. Am I the only one?
I'm very happy to hear you've gotten him to feed on his own now and look forward to future pics of him.
 
If you see the different morphs side by side the differences are fairly obvious and you soon learn to spot them.
 
nice lesser platty.. and good to hear he's eating good now and packing on the weight. One of my BP's, Angelo, is affectionately referred to as the garbage disposal around here. He will eat anything, anytime. Never had this problem with him.. I've actually had more feeding problems with one of my RTB's
 
He's beautiful, Torsten. Lessers are one of my favorite BP morphs. He looks like he's got good size to him now. :)
 
oh that is breeding size now for him. lol Get him with a Mojave female and make some luestiics. if you can. lol
 
ironically, my pair of lessers are both pretty small too, although they are pretty good feeders.
mine were imports from BC.
