My Python doesn't wanna eat ad shed

[(disabled.900)]

Hello Everyone,

Sorry if this was discussed before — I still need an advice.

My boy python doesn't wanna eat. The last time he ate was beginning of december — I tried to feed him twice after that, but he refused mice (i was giving medium rat, second time was a small mice). About a week ago his eyes became milky and belly pin — so he's about to shed, but it look like, the milkyness seems to go away, but belly is still pink and I feel like he won't shed.

His humidity is about 70 to 80 degreed and temperature from 25 to 30.
I have an undertank heater (checked, not too hot), I changed his bedding recently, which I bought from petco.

I don't know what else I could to I am really worried — please advice, on how to make my baby feel better and eat.

Thank you

Are your temp and humidity numbers backwards? Or in Celsius?

Your cage temperatures are on the low side. A better range would be 26.5 - 32 C

70% - 80% humidity is spot on, so your BP shouldn't have any issues shedding. It is normal for them to return to normal for a few days after they go blue before they shed.

How thick is the bedding in the cage?

Is the under tank heater (UTH) regulated by anything?

What is the temperature of the room that the cage is in.

Can you post a picture of the cage?

Looks like they are in C

25 C = 77 F

30 C = 86 F

How are you measuring your temps? And where exactly? Are you certain there is nothing more than 34-5 degrees?

70-80 percent humidity?

whenever its over 70 percent humidity in my bin my snake starts stressing out and wondering.

he likes a solid 55-65 humidity
