10/13/13 - So my Bumblebee recently either regurgitated or pooped out a half digested mouse I couldn't tell which one it was but it smelled horrible. He's never done this before, showed no other signs of being sick before this happened.

I thought it might be heat or stress problem so I moved him to a smaller tub and put him deeper into the rack so he could get more heat. I took him out a couple hours ago and he was so limp I thought he was dead but as I held him he slowly started to move around more.

I also noticed his belly doesn't seem as firm it's more squishy. Is this anything serious? I've never had one of my balls do this before and I'm a worried parent.

Update 10/15/13 - So he just had a complete shed, he's more active and seems normal but when I picked him up there was one drop of blood about 10mm across and several smaller drops about the size of a needle head. I looked him over and saw no wounds or any blood what so ever anywhere on him.

I live in Alaska and we don't have a lot of choices when it comes to vets and one of our only reptile vets is on some sort of sabbatical in Africa.
