Cornuta lacks appaetite---What to do?
I just bought a Cornuta from South Central Herpetology. It's about 2 1/2-3inches SVL and apparently it lacks appetite based on what I was told by the previous owner. From the pictures you can see it's underweight and I tried force feeding with a thawed frozen mouse and it would just spit it back out completely. What should I do? I believe this was a wild-caught animal so perhaps it's more skittish with my presence. I guess the next thing I'll do is to feed it with a live mouse while blocking out line-of-sight from me to the frog so that the Cornuta is more relaxed and hopefully more willing to hunt.
I also attached a picture if my current Cranwelli.
