    Question Shed, how long.

    My ball has been in shed mode for about 3 days now, at first he was realy pale, now he looks almost normal (but no skin to be found anywhere). I have a humid hide for him, he's been in there for entire length of time. Last time he shed it was over in one day.

    Temps are 90 on hot side 78 on cool side. Humid hide is on hot side obviously.

    Any help is appriciated, thanks

    well thats normal, they go into blue then into normal again, then shed. just soak him for awhile. but im no expert, i bet someone else could help you better.

    It usually takes about about 48 hours after their eyes clear back up again, but that's an average it might take a little more or less. You'll know when they've shed, don't worry. Just give it a little more time. There's no need to soak yet, just leave him be for a couple more days. You should only need to soak if there is an incomplete shed.

    one more thing. you should bring your cool side temps to about 82-84. 78 a little on the cool side.
