Fed while in blue!

Well not full blue, but her eyes were definitely getting cloudy. I took a video because she started eating right away instead of hovering and staring at me until I left. I'll upload it in a few.

But now that she's on paper towels because of those colored scales on the underside of her neck, I'm having troubles getting her humidity up past 60%. Water bowl's on the hot side and I've been covering up holes in the tub but it won't go up.

Since they don't move around hardly at all when they are getting ready to shed, I put a damp washcloth on top of the hide (I only have one on the hot side) and his humidity is steady at 80%. I put the washcloth in hot water, rang it out until the it doesn't drip any more, and then jsut layed it on top of the hide.

You can also mist the tub a couple times a day.

She has two and she's in the cool side so should I put the rag on the hide she's in or her hot side hide?

Jedi, it's working like a charm! It went from 55 to 59 in less than ten minutes! Seems much less fussy than spraying and that way the whole bottom of her tub isn't wet and there's a risk with those scales possibly getting worse if they are some form of scale rot. Thanks a bunch!

Yea, that's why I only do this while they are in shed since they stay hidden while they are clouded over and don't move around until it's time to actually shed (usually).
