I have a male hypo that is about two years old. About two months ago he got a bad burn on the top of his body. It's about 2cm x 1cm. He is eating fine and has his usual relaxed temperment. I'm not sure if i remember this right but i don't think he has shed since then. He has defecated since then, but only after soaking for a about two days. Since he last ate (3 weeks ago, about) he has not defecated and all he has been doing is hanging out in his water dish for about a week. I don't want to feed him if it will only back him up more. I don't see mites. It seems like his head is drying out a little too. I change out his water dish every day and even give him an extra one with cold water for drinking. I have been soaking him in a warm bath for the last few nights and still no defecation. I'm not sure what the problem is. Looking for some good advice! Thanks a lot everyone!
