Can the shedding process be interrupted?

My lil guy has been in shed for about a week & a half. Was in blue late last week. He's still been hiding a lot. I check on him once a day after work (haven't handled him for 2 weeks) & he's always hiding under his driftwood. Could me checking on him be slowing the process down, or does it happen regardless? Thanks in advance

It should happen when its ready.

Low humidity can make it take longer. Make sure your humidity is good and mist if/when needed.

Humidity's been between 65-70% since shortly after I saw his pink belly

Then you should be fine.

Thanks!

Something that can slow shedding is illness. So make sure he is healthy. If he is injured that usually will speed a shed cycle. The time frames can vary however in a normal shed.
