    Generally they're in the hardware section, near paint and fans and such, with the huge thermometers that you can hang on a wall.

    If you guys are having repeated bad sheds, and aren't doing anything about the overall humidity of the enclosure; you need to be soaking them a couple of times after you notice their eyes turn blue, and maybe once right when you notice their eyes clear up but not shed skin yet. It will at least allow them to have a complete shed.

    I agree about the soaking. It will definately improve the sheds. I got desperate with my male back when I got him and he had retained eyecaps; I put him in a shallow rubbermaid overnight, and I made it really humid so that there was condensation all inside the walls and lid of the rubbermaid, and I also used sopping-wet unmilled sphagnum moss. I put him in this super humid environment as soon as his eyes went blue, and the shed came off like a dream with all those nasty eyecaps gone.
    Soaking in warm water, in addition to putting them in a superhumid rubbermaid (with the heatpad undernneath and hidespots, of course) should do the trick.
