Postby taniya91 » Mon Sep 17, 2012 7:30 pm

i just got a new bts not even 2 weeks ago. he is picking at his food and not really eating alot but i read on the frequently asked part he is probably really stressed and may not eat for a few weeks...i mean minus the eating he is VERY healthy from what i can tell. very alert and no mucus or any other issues....im just not sure what he/she is....can anyone tell me?

Looks in good shape,id say its just adjusting to new surrounds,new smells ect,quite normal,looks to be of good weight so obviously not starving,could also need to adjust to a new diet if your feeding differently to previous owner

Nice looking specimen

He/she (bird's eye view pic would be helpful to guess gender) looks Merauke-ish, but it also looks like there's some Irian jaya or possibly even scincoides in there. He isn't skinny so don't worry about food unless he starts losing weight.
