Does he look OK??

[kingspade18]

Here is one of my panthers who had a bubble in his poop the other day and a bit of what looked like undigested food. He seems a bit lighter in weight than his brother and is visually thinner as well. How does he look to you guys?? I rarely see him eat, and when i do its only one cricket. Although i put about 5-10 in every day there are usually a few remaining the next day. I attached a pic of the poop bubble also.

So i shouldnt be concerned about not seeing him eat as much as his brother or being noticeably lighter and skinnier?

Some are just smaller and wont eat in front of you. I would get a scale to keep track of his weight.

no, I would not worry. Maybe stop trying to compare them so much! They are not all going to grow and look exactly the same. Some people eat more than others ya know....

Looks great to me!

If you are providing food for him, and he is eating something, then I think hes fine.

Has he always been like that?

Or is it a recent development?

I would only be concerned if there was an abrupt, sudden change in his eating, and if it stayed that way for a week or more.

Undigested food in the stool can be an indicator of internal parasites. It may also explain his smaller stature compared to his sibling. Perhaps have a fecal done just to rule out that problem.

Couldn't hurt. He is beautiful by the way!
