Clifford didn't eat his last meal last Friday. I am 90% sure he's about to shed. I missed the blue phase because he's been hiding the last two weeks. When I lift the skull to check on him he is very dull in color. So this means he's about to shed, Correct?
He hasn't been moving around any that we have seen which I've read can be normal when they are about to shed.
This will be his first shed with us, so I don't really know what to expect.
He tends to stay on the cooler side. The warm side is about 80-85 (UTH) the cooler side Ranges 74-78. Humidity is 45-50. I have Moss in there that I spray damp to keep the humidity up.
What should I expect during this process? When should I try feeding him again?
TIA
Kat & Clifford
 
He's probably going to shed soon (maybe a day or five). The hiding for two weeks and dull in color gives it away. Don't feed until after he sheds.

Humidity is fine, and the cool side is the comfortable side, so it's fine that he hangs out there a lot.

There's nothing to do except wait until it's done. Maybe you'll catch him in the act. If you notice he's suddenly active again, it's going to happen that day.
 
you might not have missed the "Blue Phase" although you could have. They get the dull coloring on the skin sometimes before the eyes go blue.
