So my little month old BP just finished his first shed since I've had him (I've only had him two weeks!) and all went smoothly. His eyecaps shed and it was all in one piece. However, after checking him out this morning to make sure all went well, I noticed that it seems that two scales are completely missing on his back now. It's just a little white spot. Is this something to worry about? I'm not sure what would have caused it; I only handled him to re-wet his humid hides, and all he did was sit in his hides. Also, there are a few scales here and there that look like they didn't shed; I've read not to worry about this, as long as it's not all the way around his body (which it's not). So those are okay?
Also, I've had him for two weeks, and he's eaten three times with me. He's scheduled to eat again tomorrow, but he hasn't pooped. A few days after I got him, he left some urate in his enclosure, but other than that, nothing. Should I be worried? His food items are a little smaller than he is wide, so he's being fed every Saturday and Tuesday at this point, but he didn't eat on Tuesday due to his shed.
Thanks again!
