This might be a dumb question. I recently bought a young normal BP from a local petstore (wonderful people who had gotten him from a local breeder). Anyway, I have to fill out an application with Animal Control for an exotic animal permit. No big deal. I have 10 days to do it, but they sounded like they'd be flexible as long as they could tell I was working on it. One of the things I have to include is the name and address of the vet that certified my snake was healthy. This is also not a big deal, because I'd love to know the gender of my little guy (even though I already decided on his name!) Also, someone suggested that he may have some RI issues since he had his mouth slightly open in a few pictures. He didn't/doesn't have any other symptoms (in fact, he's sleeping on his head right now), but I'm sure I'd feel better knowing he was ok.

The question I have is this. He's going through a shed right now. I have no idea how much longer it's going to last. I'm pretty sure he's on at least day 7, but I've been pretty much leaving him alone. So, should I wait until he's done with the shed before I call the vet or is it ok to take him now? I don't want to put off the application too long because I know I'll just forget about doing it, but I also don't want to stress him out too much. Would you wait?

If it helps, a trip to the vet will take at least 2 hours just in the car, so it won't just be a quick little trip.

As always:

Cool Side 75ish
Warm Side 90-97
Humidity 70%
Substrate Cardboard
Hides identical - one on each side. He loves them and moves back and forth throughout the day.
Other he has a rough rock-thing and a large waterbowl. I've never seen him in the waterbowl. He also gets spritzed once or twice a day.
Enclosure glass
Everything is checked by digital thermometers one of which also measures humidity.
