The Breeder was feeding him live pinkies. Breeders are able to do that. Most hobbyists are not. However, he has eaten f/t for me. Once. He is in a glass 10-gallon aquarium. Heat is provided by a UTH and a hood lamp above. Mesh top is half-way covered with Aluminum heat tape to maintain Humidity. Hood lamp is on a dimmer. All are on thermostats.
I've tried the "dangling" the pinkie in front of him - it frightened him. I contacted the Breeder and he suggested to just put the pinkie in his hide and leave it there over night. He did eat. However, he has not eaten since, and that was 2-weeks ago. The lamp is above his one hide (he has 2). I have UTH, Heat Lamp, thermostats, Heat Gun. Warm side, cool side. Humidity is 60%. I have another Email out to the Breeder.
