Okay, first of all the RI seems to be much better, no more mouth breathing and only one sneeze in the past few days. Still a little wet around the mouth and some snout wiping but nothing major. I have the heat up 5 degreees or so and he is getting antibiotic shots every 3 days, the last one is tomorrow.
His fecal exam did come back possible for salmonella (they are re-testing).
He shed since my first post, but not a good shed. He took several days and I eventually had to soak him to get the last couple of inches. I think this might have been due to the fact that he seems reluctant to crawl about and was not abrading it like he should have been.
In fact he is only leaving his hide to take a drink, or to poop, then goes straight back in. This lack of energy is what is worrying me, the first few weeks of his life he was all over the vivarium, doing laps around the edge of the top screen!
He is eating normally again.
BTW, he lives in a 10 gallon, near a window in my library which does not get direct sun and his substrate is sand. He has a heat lamp over one end, a water dish, a climbing branch, a hide and a few decorative rocks.
