    Where should the humidity be for a ksb? It stays around 40% now but her last shed didn't go to well.

    That's weird, when I had Kenyans they never had a shed problem. I never sprayed them or anything, but what I did do is soak them in H2O when their eyes cleared and they did fine! Good luck!!

    i keep my KSBs on dry aspen with a moist hide, their sheds are always in the hides with never a problem.

    snadwich containers are the greatest things I've found for moist hides, for the snakes i put the hole in the side of the containers, for my geckos the hole is on top.

    This has stopped shed problems for many of my species

    Mine never has a good shed even with misting. I always have to soak him and let him crawl through a towel. I will try the moist hide next time myself.
