I've been looking at the images off and on for hours but it's so hard to tell. I'm just going to keep doing the iodine solution and keep the moist hide in. The water dish is still in there too.

Yeah, they're thicker than reptile carpet but I definitely understand that heating pad gets hot and will wait to use it until I get a proper gauge for it. His ambient temperature should keep him happy for now.

There were definite signs of shed on his head this afternoon when I took him to the vet. He had flakes of skin and eye caps which he has successfully gotten off since I put in the moist hide. I imagine the rest of him should shed too after that, right?
