 Help identifying please.

This is a rescue red tail I took over a couple of days ago b/c the owner didn’t know how to take car of it. It’s under weight and had badly retained shed. It’s getting a lot better and got an ok from the vet today. I’m just not sure what kind it is exactly. BCI or BCC or ...she has an pink-orangish hue to her on the sides if that helps Thanks,
Will
by the way, i’m having her take baths every night for approx. 20min to help with the retained shed. The vet said the eye caps are not posing a problem right now, but just to really work on the baths to loosen them up so they will fall off.

I now have a new cat litter tub in there for her to soak in, and to increase the humidity.

You know, I was also thinking some of her thinness could be from dehydration as well as underfeeding.
Once you begin to feed her, just once a week, a prey item the size round of her widest part.
when she fills out, you can go to every 10 days or so.
I bet within a couple weeks shes going to look soooo much better.
Cant wait to see the changes.
