    Re: questions

    If he's in shed and the humidity is too low...then yes, it is normal. Whenever my boas soak I start to question what is wrong with my husbandry. Most of the time it's either the heat is too high or the humidity is too low. How long have you had him for?

    Jimi had the right answer, you also might want to do a thorough check for mites.

    Re: questions

    All good info. One other thing to add (not really related to shedding) but a frequent soaking boa is a sign of stress (seeking security). Again, not really related to shedding but for some odd reason I felt compelled to chime in.
