Message: <blockquote data-quote="Papaya" data-source="post: 238735" data-attributes="member: 38317">I have a sub adult B Smithi Im fairly certain is male. I keep dropping crickets in front him and his response is instantaneous, pouncing, and "wrapping" the prey.. For the last couple of months Ive noticed that a few seconds after seemingly having the cricket secured Ill see it scurry away from the side or rear. This isnt a once or twice occurrence. Im not sure when the last time he actually ate is and his abdomen is pretty small now. He refuses "slower" pray such as super worms and even horn worms. Any ideas?</blockquote>
