I agree that he looks in perfect health from the photo. Perhaps his environment is perfect and has never fluctuated too much to stress him. You should post more pics to show this fella off. As long as he has nothing wrong with him and is healthy I guess there may not be a need to change his diet a whole lot. Maybe lessen the mice to 1 every 2 weeks. Give him a different food item like hornworms and night crawlers. He just might love those and they have great nutritional value. Again congrats. You are obviously taking good care of him since he is 16 years old and has had the same diet.
