Hopefully the new arrival has been properly quarantined well away from your other snakes. If it dies I would have it necropsied.

Thanks for the input guys. We check his temp regularly w/the temp gun, as well as being on a digital thermostat. We bumped up the humidity bc we knew he was in shed. I wouldn't know where any pesticides would come from. We only clean w/diluted Chlorhexidine. He's on a coconut husk substrate. We were thinking of putting him on Reptibark.
You know how it is looking stuff up online. Lol everything is the worst case scenario. I think my husband got an appointment for tonight.
