yeah, I know there are probably a billion of these threads and I apologize and yes I read the stickied posts.

My question is this: is there anything you can do to help encourage/enable a nice smooth one piece shed? My last BP 'Charlie' who has passed on... was a horrible shedder, always little pieces here and there and constantly needing "help". I now have a new baby 'Sammy' and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to try and prevent the same problems from repeating.

I have added a moss pit, ( just a big tub of damp sphagnum moss) for him to play in and to help keep the humidity up, right now it's at a pretty constant 70-75% and an ambient tank temp of around 85 that goes down to the mid 70's at night when the heat lamp is off (there is also an under-tank heater). The bedding is just standard aspen shavings.

SO, with all of that in mind, is there anything else I can do to help ensure a nice normal shed?
