Great Shed!
So my Medio' ( mahdayoh ) had his second shed and it was great!
His first shed was terrible, due to my lack of keeping the humidity stable. Took him almost 3 weeks to shed. and it came off in pieces.
So i went to take him to the vet this previous thursday, just for a checkup since i haven't had him looked at since getting him, thought i'd be a good idea. Anyways, when i went to take him, i noticed his eyes were a little cloudy, but took him anyways, everything ended up being fine with him, which was good to know.
The next day ( Friday ) i went to get him to take to my Uncles place because he had not see him yet. When i lifted his hide to get him, his eyes were bright blue ( it was also feeding day ) So i threw a mouse in, he snatched it right away, i put his hide back in right away ( i don't usually take his hides out when i feed ) and let him be, and do his thing.
Today, Sunday, i was doing my daily misting of the cage, and got curious to see how he was doing, since his last one was bad. I lifted the hide on the cooler side he was in, and he looked very bright, very calm, and no signs of shedding. So it got me wondering what was going on.
So i then proceeded to but that hide back in, and i lifted the hide on the warm side, and to my suprise there was a nice solid log of feces, and a full sleeve of shedded skin, not in pieces. It was really cool to know he didn't have to go through such a hard shed this time around.
However, his first sign of shedding was on thursday, and now sunday, 3 days later the whole process is over. Is this normal? I thought it took AT LEAST a week for them to shed. I'm not going to ask should i be concerned, because i'm not, but is this normal?!

Re: Great Shed!
I put in a tubawear of damp moss on friday. I've been very busy lately and haven't had the time to be able to mist daily, so i put that in there to make sure he had his humidity. He spent maybe a day in there, then the rest in the 2 hides. The humidity in the tank for the last 3 days or so was 35%. I am usually be able to keep it up, this was just a very busy weekened. I usually have the humidity in the tank 50-60%
Wouldn't even know what the humidity was in the tubawear, i didn't make it SOAKING WET, due to scale rot, but it was humid, that's for sure, i'd say probably 70-80% humidity in the tubawear?
