    Shedding question
    My bp just finished shedding it was a success except for a small piece on the top of his head the shape of a dime. Now my question is do I just let him get that off or do I soak him and put him through that stress for something he might can do himself? Also if I let him do it, how long do I give him to get it off?

    I'd try rubbing it off gently with some lukewarm water. Cause even if you'd soak him, chances of him putting his head under water seem slim. If he's so head shy that you think he'd get very stressed because of it, just try keeping the humidity high for another few days, should come off.

    Ok I will do that. I was hoping I didn't have to put him through that since it's so small. Now after I bump the humidity up, how do I give him to do it himself before I have to?

    One of my big girls just did the same thing. I honestly just kept the humidity up (misted her directly) and after a day I found the last piece stuck to the ceiling of her tub. Pieces like that usually come off pretty easily by themselves when the humidity is right.
