I'm not impressed either, once this little guy recovers and I'm sure I'm not going to have to try to bring him back to the guy I'm going to probably send him a very educational but slightly nasty text.
Okay good to know, thank you, I'll make sure to give him cooler baths from now on. I haven't handled him at all other than what's necessary and I definitely agree, I'll keep from bugging him as much as possible. I don't think he's in shed at all, his eyes are very clear and the wrinkles seem to be from a lack of mass rather than stuck shed. I'll keep an eye out though.
I have a Jump Start thermostat hooked up to a ZooMed heat mat and I have a laser thermometer I've been checking the temperatures with every hour or so. I also have a heat lamp with a 60 watt ceramic heat emitter but it's too cool in the house for it to heat up much, it just helps keep the cool side above 70. I'm going to get a hygrometer right now since I'll be at the store to get mice as well. I've been misting the tank every couple hours though with warm water in a fine mist bottle so it should be plenty humid, the substrate is also slightly damp.
Do you know of anything I can get or anything I can do to help the corkscrewing? I think that's my biggest concern at the moment. His head stays still just fine but whenever he moves he goes straight upwards and kinda back or to the sides, he's just all over the place, the poor thing.
