    Can't tell if she's shedding
    She looks like she's started to try and shed maybe. Some skin looks like it's peeling off around her head and her eyes look foggish. I added some miss to boost the humidity and prayed it. I got it at 60% but she doesn't leave her hide. Only in the morning time I find her inside her water dish. I don't think she likes the miss to much but I can't be to sure. How can I help her shedding process?

    Re: Can't tell if she's shedding
    The hide is the perfect place to add moisture especially if she likes to be in there. Make sure the hide is over the heat source, add damp paper towels or a dampened old towel under the hide. This will basically make a high humidity box that will help with the shed. Still mist the tank to keep that humidity up too. It can take a couple of days but this will help greatly. After shed remove the towel as you don't want it to stay that humid all the time. Do you have a hygrometer? Sheds are usually pretty noticeable. My biggest indicators are the eyes are covered with skin and they turn ashy and their colors don't look so vibrant.

    Her eyes are kinda hazey at times. The hydro meter is on 65% I try not to let it drop below 50

    Bump up the humidity to 75-80% in the enclosure. Like i said the hide is a good place to add extra moisture just don't soak it down. A few damp paper towels should do it.
