    You can soak him, however I'd say you don't need to soak him for more than 20 minutes tops.

    Good Luck!

    another thing you can do is wet a paper towel and leave it over his heat pad, under his hide. chances are he will be chillin in his hide while he is in blue. this will turn his hide into a humid hide.

    I usually prefer to leave them alone while they shed (even the ones who are notorious for bad sheds) and mist a bunch, then bathe afterwards if they didn't shed completely, but it's up to you. Bathing pre-shed is not necessary, but it can be beneficial.
