My First Shed

Was a complete Fail!! [emoji30]
I did everything that the herpetologist said to do and up'd her temps like everyone advised kept her humidity at 60-65% but her shed was terrible and today I had to assist her per Herps advise. I allowed her to soak for 20 mins with a wash cloth then I allowed her to pass through my cupped hands the remainder of skin sloughed off except for the head/neck area which she totally didn't allow me to assist her with... Little Brat [emoji19] oh and she decided to poo in her bath.
How long after her shed can I try to feed her?

Cover the top with Tinfoil (to remove the easy air flow) to help bump up humidty, Also try using a Actual substrate (Coco husk is amazing) If you venture that way.
but my best tips when was using a tank, was as simple as mist in the morning and a mist in the evening

Will do! Thank you!!

How are you measuring your humidity?

For your humidity and ambient temperature invest in a "versa top". Petsmart, Petco, and Petland all carry them. For the feeding of your bp after a shed depends on where she was on her scheduled feedings. However most bp's are hungry immediately after a shed. :salute:

Anicatgirl I have a natgeo digital thermometer and hydrometer all in one and also I have a single digital thermometer with a standard hydrometer gage from petsmart.
