When he's not in shed, humidity around 55% is okay, but in shed, 65-70% is best, ESPECIALLY because he's also battling mites- mites dehydrate a snake by sucking their blood- they're a health risk in many ways.

what started to worry me was the prominent backbone. And I felt like I could feel his ribs a little more. I’m glad to know he doesn’t look alarmingly skinny—and hoping to keep it from happening. We should have his new rats shipped in early January. Last week he took two rat pinkies and this week a hopper mouse.

I wondered about shed cycle. His little neck folds though are nothing short of downright geriatric though… maybe both?
