i believe the baby is dehydrated because he just shed and he's very wrinkly. he drank tonight on his own for 15 minutes straight tonight. he spends part of his time under the big fake ivy plant in the middle of the cage or up on his perch in the heat for the rest of the time. i tried hide boxes but he doesn't like them. i'm constantly watching him off and on 16 hours a day to see if he drinks. we have tried live rat and mouse pinkies, f/t pinkies and fuzzies. he's not chunky, he's about 18 inches long and skinny. lllreptile whom i'm in constant contact with, hasn't said what he eats. the problem is they tell me to leave him alone. if i would have done that, he'd be dead by now. Gratch the baby nicaraguan is handled 4 times a day, just to get him set up to drink. then a little love kisses and back to his cage.
