    Should I be concerned?

    I've noticed a change in Naga's behavior lately. He's usually quite active at night, especially closer to feeding day, but the past two weeks I've hardly seen him at all. Last time he was out roaming was the day before I fed him and he got a chunk of large coconut husk stuck in his mouth. I had to help him get it out, and he snaked right into his hide afterwards. Since then, he's eaten twice just fine but is still hiding. I thought maybe he was going to shed soon, but I didn't think it would take that long. Should I be concerned about his health, continue waiting for him to shed, or just double check that my temperatures are ok for him?

    Thank you in advance for your advice!

    Chances are you have nothing to worry about. As long as his husbandry is right and he's eating I wouldn't worry at all.

    It's probably nothing, can't hurt to check your temps and humidity though

    Thank you all for the reassurance! He finally did shed last night, and it was all in one piece! I'm so excited to see how big he ultimately gets.
