Ray hasnt shed since January tenth. He hasnt pooped either. From Jan until now he has been eating once or twice a week( not anymore after my overfeeding post:-). I have been soaking him in luke warm water everyday. I dont know what else to do but he is not very active and not himself. I am getting so worried. Quick responses would be appreciated. Thanks so much in advance...im freaking out here....

Why are you soaking him everyday?....does he have a stuck shed or something? How old is your bp? What temp and humidity are you keeping him at?

I heard that warm water helps them poop. He is about 7 months old and is in a 55 gallon tank. I have a large water bowl , a zoomed 75 watt heat lamp, abd several hides. This is all temporary. His enclosure is being built and I am going to get the humidity gage and switching to the under tank heaters.

You do not need to soak everyday.....that is probably stressing him out....and could be the reason he is not eating.

Dont worry.....he will poop and shed when he wants too.

A 55 gallon glass tank and your only heat source is a 75 watt bulb?

What are you feeding, and has this guy been to a vet for a fecal?
