    No soaking PRIOR to a shed. Only if the shed goes badly should you soak him. Up the humidity to 60-70% if you are concerned about a poor shed:) Soaking during a shed cycle can reduce the amount of natural fluid build up between the old skin and the new skin.

    Good for you to ask questions and clarify anything you are uncertain of.

    No, just make sure you are providing optimal humidity and that you are getting an accurate reading with a digital hygrometer!

    No need to consider soaking until after a shed and if you have a stuck shed issue.
