Fattening up an ig

Posted by CanadianHerp on November 07, 2001 at 08:32:57:

My little guy Zeek is well... rather little. We've had him for about 9 months now and from what I've got the impression of, he should be quite bigger than what he is. He's about 5" SVL and about 16" STL, I dont know, maybe that is normal for his age but from what I've heard, I think he should be bigger.

Another problem is he's rather thin... you can normally feel and see his ribs. Not real bad, but enough to make me worry. I give him lots of food, consisting of Collard Greens, Kale, Dandilion Greens, Carrot and various fruits like cantaloupe and banana. He normally eats most of it, about 3/4 of a cup worth, and he's in an 86 gallon tank(for now), with lots to climb, places to hide, and all the heat is right too. I'm at a loss.

Then again... I could be worrying about nothing.

Any help or reassurance would be appreciated.
