    Bad first shed, husbandry is fine, need a little guidance.

    Having some issues getting the shed off the top of his head and along the sides of his neck (maybe 3-4"). Originally only his tale and belly flaked off, and then I got the rest off with a 45 minute soak and had him crawl through a hand towel.

    To get the rest off I tried the pillow case trick last night (damp pillow case with a dish cloth in with him, back into the enclosure overnight). Results: No change.

    Any other tips to get the shed off his head/neck? His eyes and face are clear, but the to of his head still has shed on it.

    **Humidity was 65-75% during shed (dropped to 65, spiked back up with a misting once or twice daily), ambients around 80, cold side 77-81 (cold at night here), warm side 90-92, two identical hides, water bowl, enough cover, etc etc etc.
