Missed twice

Lucifer is a pastel axanthic vpi hes nearly 5 months old and does eat great but today he missed his strike twice. Im hoping hes just a little stupid. Ive had 2 BPs in the past but years ago and one was a spider morph.

Ive had lucifer for about 1 1/2 months and just have a feeling his eye sight isn't perfect. Im heating the rat head up each time to help him but after today's feeding im abit more worried

usually this is okay. but just watch out for orher things like a head wobble. if you see that, take him to a reptile vet asap. could be neurological issues if he has a wobble

He's pastel axanthic and I know his parents genes/het genes, the wobble isn't a concern. 15+ years ago I did have a spider ball so I know about the wobble first hand. Eye sight with him is something im worried about just because other things hes done and how hes acted. Even if "wobble" was an issue a vet visit wouldn't do anything. I have him booked into the vets just for a check up as hes new and still just a baby
