Shedding!

just caught my new recue bp shedding, went to check on his humidity and he was circling inside his log hide. his head popped out for just a second and the shed was mostly off of his head!

what did i get myself into? the last time i was this nervous/anxious was when my children were born.

i am hoping that the shed all comes off, but given the conditions he was in when i got him i'm not sure that will happen.

i will post pics when he is done. how long after a shed should i wait to try and feed him?

Don't worry about him, he might have a perfect shed. If he doesn't, a quick run through a wet towel (ie you holding him while he moves through it) works great to get off stuck pieces (just don't tug at the shed, let him work it off).
I feed all my guys and gals on the same schedule regardless of their shedding cycle, most will eat right after they shed (ie the same day if it works out that way).

snapped a few pics

Just leave him alone, mist his tank, but don't get too obsessive compulsive over it or you will stress him/her out.

i snapped these pics while i was misting, i have been finding other things to concentrate on so i don't just hover.
