    Is this normal for a shedding process???

    My little guy I got on oct13 finally looked like he was going into shed. His belly turned pinkish,his eyes got pale blue for a bout 3 days...he been hiding in his hide for like 4-5. I been checking him daily. So today I check on him,his eyes are 100% normal,belly is still pinkish his body looks good and shiny,he actually looks greatlol,like he shed..but I can not find his shed any where.. Humidity I been keeping up high..70-80 and hot spot round 91 and hot side round84-86. I do the same for my ghost but all goes well with him.

    ive added sphagnum moss to his hide as well,the tanks been very moist but hot so it can help with his shed,I'm just a bit confused and wanna make sure he's ok..

    He's fine. He is probably only a couple of days away from shedding.

    They go blue, then clear again before shedding. He'll probably shed any day now.

    Ok thnx..I only ask cause my Ghost gets pale and dull,then gets blue eyes for like 2 days then sheds as soon as his eyes turn normal. His entire process is like 5-6 days.. This guy looks like he shed,so it threw me off and it's been going on for like 6-7 days already..ok thnx again for your help

    As I noticed with mine. It's not always on schedule for shedding. All 4 sheds I had with him till now were going on for different times. First was done in 6 days second 7 and last for example in 9 days.

    Don't know tho if there's any factors included. As soon as I realize he is going into shed i up the humidity to around 70-75% and keep it there till he sheds.
