His neck is about half the normal diameter, he has to eat small slugs and tiny worms.

A normal size food item nearly choked him to death, it's weird as heck, his body is normal, his head is normal, but his "neck" region is tiny.

So I let him eat as many tiny food items as he can, but in the wild, I think he'd of either choked or withered away.

He is a captive born, and a runt. (still very fond of the little guy)

That's quite the zoo your starting Stephanie
