    Worst shed ever!!!!

    My new spider just had the worst shed ever and I don't know why. Her temp was 93 hot side and 80 ambient with a humidity of 85%. The only thing I can think of is that there isn't anything really heavy or rough for her to rub against. Well I am off to soak and finish shedding her.

    Please give me you opinions as to why this may have happened so I can fix it.

    Thanks,
    Ed

    Hydrometer broken? A couple of my balls have nothing to rub on except for maybe the water bowl (which is round) and they shed fine. Husbandry looks fine, as long as the gauges are right.

    Re: Worst shed ever!!!!

    No, I checked the guages and there was a little condensation in the tub so I don't think the hydrometer is broken. I just can't figure out why. I just soaked and shed her and everything came off really easy. She does have quite a wobble when she get's out and about maybe she just wasn't rubbing rite. I don't know but it's just weird no one else in the rack has had problems.
