Zeke update..

I am so happy! About a month ago, I finally got Zeke to eat, after being deprived of food for almost 5 months. Ever since then he's eaten once a week, every time I offer him a rat. Last time I fed him, when I lifted up his hide box, I noticed that he had shed. I was so excited; it was the first shed he's had with us that was ALMOST in one piece. I was kinda shocked when I saw it, because I had looked at him a few days earlier, and he was just BARELY going into the "blue" phase, where their eyes turn blue and their bodies are VERY dull. Last time he shed, he was in blue for AT LEAST a week, and this time he went in and out of blue in a matter of days. Him shedding is also a sign that he's growing which is just what we want to know. He's doing so good now. He's not nearly as skinny as he used to be, and his eyes have totally cleared up. They used to be really wrinkled and dry, but now they're glossy and moist. I am so relieved!
