So, I noticed about a week ago when I had skipped a feeding with Murray (as i had read multiple timea that at a certain size, they should stop eating daily) that he kind f had a bit of of balance, like he couldn't stay normal-up-wright position. But once fed and digested, he evened out and had no issues. I put Murray in his tank this weekend, and he's been in there since monday. I fed him Monday before the transfer. I didn't want to stress him, so i skipped Tuesdays meal, and fed him tonight. And once again, he has issues staying upright after a skipped meal. I'll see if I can post a picture I took (hopefully its attached...)... it's not the best, but you can see him floating practically on his side. At times, he was almost belly up! After feeding, he went back into his tank, and went straight for his hidey, I'm guessing to keep his balance in there? Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Tank is fully cycled and kept at 65-66 degrees with a chiller. But he's done this before when in a kritter keeper, as well. He eats frozen/thawed blood worms, and usually finishes off the cube. There's been a few times he's gotten full and didnt finish the cube. But again, this only happens when I skip his meals. He's happily swimming in his tank now, no issues.
