Re: Does he look ok? Still hasn't shed ??
Soak in a closed Sterilite tub, with barely lukewarm water, as mentioned above for about 30 minutes or so. Then get a hand towel wet, Lukewarm again, and let your snake run through it a several times.
Re: Does he look ok? Still hasn't shed ??
Right I will go with that , I will put him in the bath tomoro. Although I never stated my humidity is unstable as it isn't .... Obviously there will be a change in humidity levels from the warm end to the cool end, as the heated end will have less! My humidity reading is in the cool end and has always been around 50-60% so is that not high enough ? Raising it to around 80% during this shed period most days has not helped so it seems. I know the heat lowers the humidity but I didn't think my humidity was low?
I have to use overhead heat in the form of ceramic as a heat mat does not create a warm enough enclosure.
Re: Does he look ok? Still hasn't shed ??
I'm using a heat panel reptile radiator on the roof, I tried a plastic tub with heat mat when I first brought him home, the hotspot was fine but ambient temps were around 70f so I don't know how anybody can get 80f+ as an ambient temp with only a heat mat unless you have a heated reptile room! Which unfortunately I don't have. So I quickly moved him to a wooden viv to improve temps.
Re: Does he look ok? Still hasn't shed ??
So you still use overheat heat then to create your ambients , not heat mat on its own! I don't see the point in using two types of heat , if I need overhead heat for ambients then I may as well use that as my sole heat source....
I will change my substrate if that's the answer although if I get the recommended 50-60% already why do I have an issue with humidity ??
Re: Does he look ok? Still hasn't shed ??
My ambient temps range from 86 down to 76 with a hotspot of 93 so I don't see how my ambients are causing less humidity? Unless I'm missing the point?
If I use a heat mat aswell how will I be better off? As the overhead heat will still be required at the same power to provide my current ambients which are correct, as the heat mat will do nothing for air temps?
Im more confused than ever! My humidity reading is within range as far as I have researched....
