Re: Shedding...

His humidity is at...65% right now on the side he's sitting on. There are two hides on hot and one on cool (yes the yellow rock). Usually I have towels all over the top of my screen to help keep humidity in and I do spray (twice a day if I can). It's just weird. I've had him for 16ish months now and he's never (fortunately) had a bad shed. I just don't know if I should put him in a warm bath right now or whatever.

I'm usually pretty good about keeping up humidity though.

The analog hygrometers can be really inaccurate; it might read 65% and really be at 45%. If you can, get a digital one soon, since they're usually more accurate than the analog ones.

I'd say mist his cage right now and cover it with saran wrap or the towels and leave him overnight. Maybe you have a bigger bowl to offer him a bigger water dish? That way he can soak his whole body if he decides to do so. See what he's like in the morning and we'll take it from there. For now, mist the tank, cover the screen, a bigger water bowl, and leave him.

How are you heating the tank and how are you measuring temps?
