Hi all.

Am somewhat concerned as my BP hasn't been eating much lately. I thought it might be excessive handling so I left him alone for a week and just got him out again today only to find he had developed red spots on his belly.

I have been able to maintain temperatures of 30 degree Celsius hotspot and 27 degree cool side. Up to late November / early December he was eating fine, since which he has barely eaten. He is approximately 3 years old and hovering at between 1kg and 1.1kg weight at approximately 3ft long. I had him sexed by a specialist vet about a year ago as a male despite being sold him as a her. I have kept his vivarium with plenty of clutter all over the floor and have three hides that he can just about still squeeze under in three areas of his vivarium. He has been on reptichip and has cork hides two of which are flattish panels on each end of the vivarium and the third is a cork bark tunnel that stretches from the hot to the cold side. He has been mostly hovering within 50grams of 1.1Kg for over two months now. I last cleaned his viarium about a month or two ago and have been adding water for humidity maybe a little too much lately since I just scraped the chips off the bottom to find a puddle of water at the bottom of the chips. Ive now cleared the chips out and put paper towel in just in case. He also seems to be shedding as his eyes are cloudy and has an almost perfect replication of his normal shedding process.

Here are some photos snapped with my iPhone of the worst section of the spots which appear to be around and under the scales this is roughly in his middle. Any advice would be appreciated
