Trouble with the eye caps

My balls body has all the old skin off but the eye caps and some of the head wont come off...she is very shy about her head being touched so what is the best way to get the eye caps off?

Hi,


How long is it since she got the rest of it off? Do you know what the humidity is in her tank/tub at the moment?

she was in "blue" when i got her about two weeks ago and got all the skin off probably two days ago...im not sure what the humidity is but there is constently fresh water and i have a UTH and i read that if you have this and constantly have fresh water thats sitting on it the humidty should be fine

all i kno is its taking way too long to get it off >_<

Hey,


Sadly rules that general never seem to hold up in real life.:)

It's always best to actually measure these things - the accurite weather stations for sale in walmart can record an indoor and an outdoor temperature and relative humidity so we recomend those a lot (think I read they run around $12.95) as if you put the outside probe in the warm end of the tank and leave the unit itself in the cooler end then you know exactly whats happening temp/humidity wise in your tank.

It might help identify why she has problems shedding if you tell us a little more about the set up you keep her in so we can suggest some ideas for her next shed?

For this one there is a really good sticky with lots of pictures and tips here that should help.

Well thanks for the help, she didnt like any part of that process the entire time she was soaking she just kept trying to push off the top but when i took her out i wiped it all off with the towel no problem just slid right off :)

Hi,


Glad to hear everything worked out well - even if the lil wriggler didn't enjoy the process.:D
