I just got a BP (actually got it for my hubby for father's day) he is beautiful and very friendly. He is about 27". We let him acclimate to his new home for a couple days and then fed him a fresh stunned mouse. He did great (he waited until it started to come around and then went for the kill). That was two weeks ago, now he started his shed cycle this past Monday. He didn't shed in one piece and still has a lot of skin stuck to him. We have been having a problem keeping the humidity up, we put a pice of plexi galss over 3/4 of the screen top, sprayed, filled a large water dish, we even gave him a bath for a few minutes. He has a big branch to climb on and rub against. I know there are posts on the questions I'm about to ask but there are conflicting answers everywhere so I figured I'd ask.
1. How long should I wait to let him shed on his own before helping him. (his eyecaps came off but the latter part of his top is not coming off too easy)
2. What size mouse ( or rat ) should we be feeding him
3. If he is constipated will his tail look stiff (I know how that sounds but his tail looks like it is stuffed it doesn't trail him like it did before)
