about to shed or something else
my bp is confusing me. i thought he was going to shed - his belly was pink and his skin was loose.
his eyes were cloudy but they were also deflated and a bit red.
if he is shedding, he is about two weeks in.
but when i looked closer i realized he seems to be very dehydrated.
he's refused f/t food for three weeks even though he was eating with the breeder
i can clearly make out his spine and the different vertebrae.
he is a few months old and around 75 g
any advice? i don't know what to do.

hot side is 88-92
cool side is 75-78 (working to raise this temperature)
humidity is usually around 60

Re: about to shed or something else
Yeh everything seems spot on to me regarding temp and humidity your snake looks in healthy condition to me and a very nice looking one at that my pb is 4 month now and I've had him 5 week he's just done his first shed with me last week and never missed a meal but I no some can be picky eaters during shedding I'd say there is nothing to worry about at this moment in time maybe try leave his meal till its shed then try feed him again just keep the humidity how it is or a little higher till he has shed then let's go from there and make sure there is clean water every day for him to soak in if he feels the need to do so keep us all updated on how you get on

i feel a lot better now - he ate a live adult mouse!
(under supervision)
he seems to be finishing up his shed as well
