I got my 3 month old male pastel BP a few weeks ago...he seems to be doing alright so far, but I'm having a couple little problems:

1) Trouble keeping the tank warm at night...the combination of the heat lamp and natural light warming up the room seems to do the job during the day (the tank isn't in the direct path of the sunlight from outside, but the room isn't very big, so it gets reasonably warm during the day.) I have a UTH on the warm side, but the temp there is only about 75 when I wake up in the mornings...any ideas?

2) He just shed for the first time....it seemed like he was having a little trouble, so I soaked him in some warmish water and that seemed to help, but he still has a little stuck right behind his head (which he's not too thrilled about me touching.) If it doesn't come off within the next few days, is there anything else I should do, or just let it clear off during the next cycle?

3) He hasn't eaten yet...it could just be the combination of the stress of getting settled in here and then the shedding (I've heard some BPs don't eat right before/during their shed cycles), but it still worries me a little. When I've tried, he seems interested in the food (small frozen thawed mice), and will come up to smell it, but he hasn't tried to strike yet.

Advice is much appreciated :]
