At this point I think he was dehydrated. I was relying on the plastic therm/hydrometer that came with the tank setup and that was my mistake it always read lower so there I was trying to up the heat basically cooking my poor snake. Finally got an indoor out door thermometer that also reads in door humidity. I use the outside probe and placed to under the hide where the heat pad lies. And sure enough without the ceramic heat emmiter even on the hide was alrdy @90 degrees. The cold mornings always put me on edge and there I was again trying to raise the temperature. But now I can accurately read the temperatures and have given the snake 2 soaks and hoping he recovers back to normal. As a first time snake owner I'm a little mad at myself for being a bit uninformed and unprepared. But I wanna thank everyone here and LLLreptiles for reaching out to me and giving me all the feed back and advice! I'll see how he does in the morning. And I'll be placing the thermostat probe to the under tank heater someone had mentioned that to me earlier. Thank you!
