It looks fine but a side pic is the best to see its stomach. Is it moving and hunting constantly? It shouldn't sit on the sand doing nothing for long periods.

Difficult to make out in the pictures but from what I can see it’s stomach doesn’t look pinched, a good sign it’s getting enough pods.
 
Ha, I meant it the opposite. Just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean you need to add more. I am saying you probably have more than you think
