Shedding

[kayrussell]

Hi Everyone,

My poor BP has been having troubles shedding still, although I have adjusted his temperatures, humidity and he has a UTH. Cold side is 80-83. Warm is 90. Humidity is at a steady 70-80 throughout the day (I jacked it up to try to help the shed) But I don't know how to post pics on here.... It has been about a month that I have been trying my hardest to help his shed. He absolutely HATES baths and they just stress him out even more. I've tried to towel trick but he won't even budge when I put him on it. His substrate is Aspen and Mulch (as recommended by a BP.net member) and has helped the humidity but this shed is too stubborn. And it is also the first shed he has undergone since I have owned him..... please help
ANY suggestions/recommendations will help...

Have you tried this?


Don't leave him in their longer than an hour and the water is basically luke warm. If he doesn't move around and get it off himself, then take a towel and put it on the floor. Take another moist towel and let him crawl through the moist towel onto the dry towel. The dry towel will also be helpful if and when they release a lot of poo and pee after the shed.
