Nazar seems to have blown up since last night, she was basking like a pancake all day yesterday and ate about ten crickets before going back to her basking spot. She pooped last night and this morning and twice yesterday so I don't think that it's constipation. Her basking spot is about 100 or 110. She has been sleeping a bit more than usual and shes much darker than usual. I think she might be starting to shed but I just want to make sure.

Puffing up could be shed related. They do that to help loosen their skin. Can you post some photos of what she is doing?

here's how she's been pancaking (she's not scared she just got done hunting her crickets and she's drinking water off her stick in this)

I can take another picture if needed, the bloating has gone down significantly since this morning, she's not scared she's standing because she was hunting. Her stomach doesn't sag like that, if you need a comparison the bottom of her stomach usually doesn't go below her elbows

It looks like a back shed may be coming on. The pancaking is also common while basking to increase surface area. I don't see anything that should be cause for concern.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
