I am looking for some troubleshooting help here to find what's wrong with my baby. I have a 2 year old male ball python. He's always been a good eater and is usually very relaxed. Lately he's been pacing his cage, nosing the top, trying to escape and he stopped eating. About 3 weeks ago he had a difficult shed and im concerned it didn't all come off but i can't tell. I'm taking him to the vet but it's another week before my vet is available so I'm looking for some advice.

Info about his living quarters: he's in a 40 gallon glass aquarium with a mesh top. It's usually around 88-90 on his warm side and typically 95+ inside his hide. His cool side is around 80F. I keep a large water dish and a towel over the cool side to give him cover and humidity. He just started on weaned rats.

There's been some changes in our household recently which may or may not be the cause. He used to live in the closet (the winters are cold here so the closet kept his temps better) and now he's in the living room. However he lived in the living room before without problems. We also introduced a bird into our home. She's a noisy sun conure. She was checked for respitory infections before I brought her home. We also have a gecko but he's been with us for years now.

Anyway. Any advice is helpful. Thanks!
