He has grown alot to help with the constipation you can wai 2 or 3 days then give him some night crawler pieces. They kind of act like a stool softener. Also if you have any of the Fluker's Repti-Aid it also works for constipation. Its not a complete solution for impaction but contains a good bit of fiber. Grif usually goes within a day or 2 of me giving her some.
    I figured that! Well, the other two pinkies I gave him were tiny, I think saying they were 1/2" was maybe too big, they were about the size, all the way round of a cricket. The third one, as I said, was a mistake. Oh for sure, I'll try the pieces or nightcrawler, I hope he dosen't become impacted! I normally wait three days between feedings anyway. Repti-Aid huh? Is it a powder coating? I'll have to get some asap!

    Do you think he will be alright? Like I said, to be honest, the two pinkies were tiny, and the third was not much larger. He normally eats 2-3 5"+ nightcrawlers at one feeding, so I figured the mice wouldn't be a problem.

    Thanks Grif!

    I think he'll be fine. The Repta-Aid is a powder that you mix with de-chlorinated water. You administer it suringe, but I have coated night crawlers in some of the powder before and still got results. Just not as fast. Also raise his temp just a degree or 2 higher than you normally keep him. This will help with the digestion. I keep Grif at 84 to 85 during the day and 78 at night. Repta-Aid is actually used to provide nutrition and help with dehydration of ill and malnurished reptiles and amphibians. It comes with a dosage sheet. I found this usage for it when I noticed it kept her regular when she was sick. Like I said though it won't solve severe impaction just mild constipation.
