Greetings All,

I've been lurking around her for several months now. This seems to be a great community, and I've learned tons off this forum and a few others like it.

I recently purchased a '10 bp after doing a lot of home work, and no surprise, I still have a lot of learning to do. He doesn't have a name yet, I kinda feel a name for him should be earned so I'm playing it out. When I got him he was just going into shed. His eyes went white and cleared. He shed some time between yesterday afternoon and this am. It appeared to be all one piece. It was all rolled up in a small ball and it appeared he BM'ed in it too. I'm trying not to handle him to much on the concern of stress from moving. I see no signs of stuck skin on his body. There is a small white spot on his head but I see no obvious signs of stuck eye caps. I know these pictures suck (iPhones suck at EVERYTHING) but I was hoping for a confirmation his eyes are alright.

I'm still struggling with my temps and humidity, and have currently settled for the time being on keeping my temps safe, though my humidity is too low. Since the first night I put him in the tank, I haven't witnessed him moving much, if at all more recently. He just stays in his hides, hot hide during shed, cold hide since. Since he's shed he's much more active when I hold him, though completely docile at all times.

I'm using what I believe to be a 40gal tank (too big I know), UTH 30-40 size, 75w "red" heat lamp, visible lamp on timer. I have two hides, though not identical. I have moss in the hot hide because he was in shed and my humidity is low.

Ambient: 89-90 and 79-80 degs. 39% humidity
Hot Hide: 89-94 65-70% humidity
UTH actual temp: 108-113

Weight: 164g pre shed 161g post.
Haven t offered him food yet, probably tomorrow night.


first pic white eyes, next two post shed. Excuse my big ugly mechanic hands.
