As far as I've ever known, you don't have to adjust temps at all during shed cycles and just monitor your humidity. We usually go with 80-82 degrees cool side, 90-92 degrees warm side and 50-60 percent normal humidity....then push up the humidity to around 70 percent during the entire shed cycle, dropping it back only when the shed is complete.

i can only get the humidity up to about 50% .i have sprayed the tank with water and raises some but not enough.is there something else i can do?

[Smulkin]

What sort of top do you have on the tank? Is it near a fan or other source of moving air?

(if you use screen lids cover them thangs!)

describe your bp's setup please...

once the temps are right, don't mess with them.. Its a fire and forget thing to some degree...LOL unless you are breeding, then that's a different story...

You can also try adding a humid hide to the enclosure. Get a nice rubbermaid like container, put a hole on the side, for an entrance. Line the rubbermaid with lightly dampened (but not dripping wet) paper towels or moss. I use these as normal hides and just add the damp moss when I notice a shed.

it is a screen top should we cover it back up?i hope we finally get this right.grrrr i know we will with all of your help.thanks

If it's a screen top, covering it will definitely help!!! I'd try that first.

thank you

No problem. Let us know how it goes. If you're have trouble with ambient temps use a little aluminum foil. Will help keep heat and humidity in. Of course when I used tanks I used contact paper left over from lining my shelves.
