    In the meantime, stop changing things in the enclosure. Stop giving him baths. Stop adding hides, Stop removing hides. Don't put in a blue bowl, or a red bowl or a green bowl...leave the bowl alone. Dial all your parameters in and leave him alone. Be watchful and observant without bothering the animal. See if this is part of the shedding process, or see if his belly gets worse.
    I don't appreciate you and your condescending advice.
