UPDATE
So just a lil update about my sweetie, about half an hour ago she took a f/t rat without hesitation (I wasn't expecting it as I've only had her for 5 days but wanted to try and feed her as otherwise she will have to wait too long for food in 2 weeks) she gobbled it down and even let me watch a little.
I'm 99% sure her nose is fine as she went on her first adventure the same night I posted my concerns (and kept me up till 4am cause i wanted to watch her) she moved slowlt and showed no signs of stress and even did some climbing and fell once then proceed to act like it was intentionaal BUT i saw her dunk her head in her water bowl a few times (I assume she was drinking even though it was only for about 2 seconds each time) and afterwards her nose looked the same as it did when i thought she might be ill and after the water dried her skin just looked quite shiny, I will however be checking in 2 days as it's better safe then sorry.
** She has been in her humid hide all day today, even when eating her rat, so i don't know if she is shedding or not as her eyes are clear but she has become very dull, I'm going to ask the breeder if she had cloudy eyes a couple of days before i got her as he would check over her everyday, or she could have for a day right after I got her as I didn't see her for 24 hours. My main reasoning for questioning it is that the notes he gave me say her first shed was on the 31/05 and her next one was 23/07 - almost two months apart - and yet it has only been slightly over three weeks! Could this be because she started rat Fuzzies a little after that shed and she is growing more quickly? **
Also to answer questions I have my microclimate pulse thermostat (yes I have one any it petrifies me when people don't, a snake can die from hot enough temperatures in no time at all) set to 93 degrees yet my digital temperature probe reads the exact same positioning as 88.9? Also I spoke about the heatwave as it has made my cool side a couple of degrees higher then i wanted and how it was before as now my room is around 81-82 degrees.
He showed me a picture of her last shed and it was perfect with no gaps or tears that either of us could see.
Here are some photos, hopefully the video works too! (also bless the flash and fingerprints, I still haven't added the handles)
