Flaky Shed

    Flaky Shed
    Cthulhu has recently been having some flaky scales coming off of his underside starting from his neck going down. It has progressively traveled towards his tail. I'm not too concerned but I am just wondering how I can fix it. His eyes aren't blue or any signs of a shed besides a bit of pink belly. His underside where it flakes off feels rough. His last shed was incomplete but I took it off safely with some warm water. Every piece ofshed was removed. You can peel off the thin flakes with your fingers but it wasn't completely removed from the whole scale. The humidity was kinda low the last 2 weeks since I kept my fan off. I have also kind of overhandled him. Today is the 3rd day in a row I have put him in the tub with warm water for 15 minutes.

    What are the humidity levels you keep during shed?

    Keep humidity at a constant 55-60, and during shed cycle bump up to 70-80%

    Too much soaking can also help to cause incomplete shed as well

    Quit soaking him and just wait till the next shed. With the right humidity, it will fix itself.
