Sorry I always seem to be in a panic when posting. lol. My BP has been really quiet lately which was a big change from him being really active. I gave him a few days before I checked and he had really milky eyes so I figured he was going into shed, but a few days later he still had not come out so I checked again and he does not appear to be in shed or have shed. I checked everywhere. It has been almost 2 weeks since I fed him because I have been waiting for him to shed and he hasn't been out looking for food.
Anyways, I'm starting to worry about him. His skin is really wrinkly and seems to kind of hang off him and his eyes look funny. I'm thinking the problem with his skin/eyes is my humidity. I have a wet rag I try to keep damp for humidity in the corner as well as a good sized H2O bowl (the rag was dry though. It's wet again and he is now resting on it). The person at the pet store had said I don't need to mist, but I will now that I have a spray bottle I just got. Now I'm so worried about him. Is this a serious problem or will he be fine if I start spraying the tank? Should I spray it more for the next few days? It's pretty damp in there now. Also, should I feed him? I have a mouse in warm water right now. I have to imagine he is hungry and I feel like he is thinner, although it could be his skin from being too dry.
Basically, it is almost 1 AM and I can't sleep because I am so worried. I had left him alone because I didn't want to upset his shed. Any tips or help before I go to bed?
Thanks!
