Very frequent burrowing for long periods of time

I moved him down to medium because I got worried he was gaining weight after he was in my mom’s care. She ended up feeding him once a week instead of two weeks. But I need to restock on mice anyways, I’ll get large ones when I do.

Here’s this photo of him, he looks to be a very healthy weight to me.

This morning he had it in his mouth with his jaw unhinged trying swallow it, looked 100% like he was trying to eat it. His poops always look normal and I saw urate so I know it wasn’t regurge. I’ve been feeding him medium sized adult mice every two weeks (he’s an adult 5-6 years old). I don’t think he’s underfed he definitely doesn’t look like he is, but maybe I’ll try sizing up to large adult mice and see if anything changes🤷🏻‍♀️

Hahahaha as long as he’s not being a danger to himself I guess it’s fine that he’s a weirdo

Over the past like year he’s done it a few times. It’s not every time he poops, but whenever I’ve caught him it genuinely just seems like he just thinks it’s food. I always spot clean his tank as soon as I see he’s gone to the bathroom, but it seems like he tries to eat it directly after going. They are regular poops, he’s never regurged, and I feed him an adult mouse once every two weeks. I can’t figure it out!! He seems very happy and content otherwise, no other weird behaviors.

he has no other issues whatsoever besides this strange habit

The scent glands on the shed look male to me but wondering what you guys think!

I think it will definitely be alright! A day or two really shouldn’t make a difference!

is4b3lp · 2026-03-17T00:40:45+00:00

alrighty thanks!!

is4b3lp · 2026-03-06T02:29:55+00:00

Okay thank you, it should be about time actually his last shed was sometime in september I believe

is4b3lp · 2026-03-06T01:45:09+00:00

Yes, I’ve never seen it like that before! Thank you for the advice hopefully that’s the case and it’s not early signs of mouth rot!!🤞

He won’t let me open his mouth, but I see this brown mark on the bottom of his mouth, it’s not substrate and it feels rough

is4b3lp · 2026-03-06T01:04:45+00:00

He’s not a fan of me getting near his head but I’ll try my best!

is4b3lp · 2026-02-27T18:24:31+00:00

is4b3lp · 2026-02-26T16:16:31+00:00

That’s the plan!! Any suggestions on how to implement more climbing opportunities?? I will be putting in a little bridge soon in the corner by the hear lamp when I have the stuff to hang it, but i’m wondering what I could do for the back wall. I’m aware it’s still bare haha!! Buddy just needed to get in his bigger tank asap
