Yawning..RI?

Yes, sorry yet another RI thread. Ive done a search but nothing I found really relates to my situation. But here it goes....

My question is my BP has not been eating, yawning once in awhile(no noise(eg weezing,popping)), in shed(just noticed by eyes yesterday), and pooped solid once then had diarrhea before shed.

Should I be worried? The shop said they gave me 14days to return/free doc/exchange my bp. Tomorrow is the last day so....What should I do?

temp is 90warmside....~50 before and now 80shed and cool side is around 70...but I havent seen him on that side...(stressed bc cannot go to cool side?)

so sugguestions? Thanks in advance

First you need to get your cool side temps up to at least the low 80's (82-85). 70 degrees is way too cold and will make your snake sick.

If you have only had him for 13 days that fact he is not eating is not a shock...Balls take awhile to get used to their new home.

What is the rest of your setup like? tank/tub?, size, #hides, substrate

When you say he is yawning occassionally...how often is that? This alone is not a sign of an RI does he have other symptons? Mucus, rubbing head, wheezing?

He ate only once the first week i had him....

Tank setup, 20gallon reg, 2 coconut hides,and aspen substrate.
He was yawning a couple times...and just yesterday yawned twice in a 3min interval.

No there is no bubbles, mucus,or wheezing...he does bump his head to smell things...he doesnt have his head 180deg's more like 30degs.....

I had a big water bowl in the middle too...

yeah the cool side is too cool, but he is never there...
