I ordered a thermostat to control my heat pad so I can use that instead of a lamp....and it should arrive tomorrow. I also have a second identical hide that I want to add. My baby bp looks to be in the early stages of shedding...his color is dull and his eyes are milky.
Is it too late in the shed for me to take him out of the tank to add the thermostat, second hide and do some general maintenance?
He hasn't been coming out of his hide much lately and I assumed that was related to the shedding. I don't want to stress him out but I also think its important to switch to the heat pad w/thermostat.

Any suggestions?

Thanks guys!
