He looks signifigantly dehydrated. I would leave him on water or at least wet his paper an let him stay that way for a few days.....

i put him in water a few hours per day , and at night i raise the humidity and wet his paper . thanks for your advice . should i try to feed him now or should i wait till he gets hydrateted ?
i will post an update in 1-2 days.

well he was shedding . today i found the skin and now he looks fine as usual :D ! now i hope i can make him eat in 1-2 days

How often are you trying to feed him? You should only try once every seven days. Any more than that and you risk stressing him out and turning him off his food. I have a blood that went 9wks without eating when she was only 2 months old. Relax. :)

I'd also say to wait at least one week before offering food next. Alot of these guys will not eat while in shed, so that could have been the issue you were having :) Try again in a week, and let us know how it goes!

ok, i will try to feed him in a week.
when i removed him from the tube with water some part of the skin broke on my hand becose it was so moist . now i see he has a let over pice of shed on his head. how should i help him get rid of that pice of shed? should i keep the humidity high and keep bathing him ? or do you recomend something else?thank you all for your advice and suport

Try soaking him with a moist towel in the tub with him. That should help him rub off the skin.

If the piece of shed is just a patch on his head, and doesn't include an eye cap, then I would leave it alone. There's no need to stress him out by rubbing on him when it's just cosmetic. It will likely come off during his next shed.

i really dont know if its just a patch of skin on his head .his eyes looks clear but than again his eyes didnt white up during the shed so i dont know for sure if he sheded his eye caps . looks like almost all his had has shed on .
