I tried to research some old posts about my current issue (no issue?) but the one I did find was from 2007 and when Dr. Del replied the original poster never did.... sigh. It fit my question perfectly too LOL. So here we go...
My adult male BP has been acting very different the last week or so. He's usually pretty active at rearranging his viv which is how I know he's been out and about in the evenings. However, the last week or two I haven't noticed him doing anything really. He stays in the same hide. His last meal was a med. f/t rat 4 weeks ago. It isn't unusal for him to have a good several months of feeding and then stopping so this didn't really cause me to worry. He hasn't had any urates for a couple weeks. He is an older guy (not sure exact age). His last shed was 10/5/09 and he pooped 10/6/09. I have only had him since 4/27/09.
I took him out tonight and put him in a tub just so that I could clean out his viv and normally he always cruises around his tub. However, tonight he simply stayed coiled and actually buried his head when I tapped him lightly. His belly looks maybe sorta kinda peachish LOL. Eyes are not blue though. When I put him back into his viv it seemed as though he wasn't seeing very well though. He would lightly run into a leaf and then duck etc.. till he went into his other hide.
Shed coming soon maybe? Any ideas? I am such a paranoid snake mama that I started tearing up tonight.......sigh.
Oh his cool side temp stays around 74 and his warm side between 88 and 90.
