I'm not sure what to do at this point. I bought a 09 albino ball about a month ago. He looked healthy and I was told that he was eating hopper mice. I let him settle in for a week and then tried to feed him. He ate and all was good. 4 days later he regurgitated it up. I gave him 10 days all by himself. Took a peek at him on day 10 to see how he was doing. It looked like he was in shed. So I gave him a few more days. He went though the blue and clear stage. All was well till... he didn't shed. I gave him another week and still no shed. I soaked him for a half hour, no shed. I did this again on Friday night. No skin was coming off, but it's clearly there. I did this again Sat and Sun night. I tried rubbing it off and letting him go though a towel. Nope, no skin, but he now looks horrible. Seems like he has lost weight, his belly is a dark color, his skin is rough and totally wrinkly and flaking in pieces, but not coming off. He looks like he may be on deaths door but I'm not sure where this all came from and why he can't seem to shed. I'd hate to loose him because he is beautiful but I'm at a loss what to do or how to help him at this point. I tried feeding him this past Thursday and he refused.
EDIT:
Temps, humidity, tub, and all are spot on. I've never seen this or have had it happen before.
