For those who offered me advice I have good news. Tangles, my little coastal with no tongue, ate by himself last night.
He is in an enclosure with a 10 month jungle male. They are great mates. I put a live mouse in for the jungle and tangles struck at it and grabbed its nose. It was much too big for him but it is the first time he has struck or looked like striking.
I have been assist/force feeding him and it was stressing him out. After he struck so well at the mouse i put a live fuzzy in with him. He hit it after a while and then began to eat (backwards but who cares)
I though he would never feed normally without his tongue and Jacobsen Organ etc...but he did.
You little beauty!!!!
