So when I think shed, I think of one whole piece that they've shed off. Well today I went to go handle Buster for the first time, I've had him a week and a half now and thought this would be a good time to start getting him used to being handled. I fed him on Sunday and he ate like a champ and I haven't bothered him since to give him some time to digest. Well today when I lifted up his hide, it looked like several little pieces of shed next to him. If I would have known that he was going into shed I would have upped the humidity. It's at about 50%, I'm working on getting it up to about 60% now, I may put a damp washcloth on top of his hide. His eyes aren't "glazed" over, so I'm unsure if he's at the beginning or end of his shed. His color is dulled which I know is a sign of shed. I change his water everyday and the bowl is big enough to soak in, haven't seen him do that but he may do it at night while I'm not around. He's some pics that I got of him tonight.


The shed piece is towards the bottom there.


Also a little on his left side.

So I haven't handled him at all still, as he looked kinda angry and I think that may be because he is in shed. So my question is, should i just leave him alone and give him a few days and check on him again? How long are they usually in shed for?
