Re: Loose Coconut Fiber Substrate.. Good? Bad?
I personally think cocofiber is really good. Obviously you have a humidity problem, and that's just because Colorado heat sucks :v
I keep my BP in a 20gal tank and I only have to mist it weekly! (Well, to be fair, I live in Indonesia, and the humidity here is perfect) I suggest putting a shallow waterbowl near the heat source if you haven't already, the damp-cloth technique, and maybe even misting if you want to.

Re: Loose Coconut Fiber Substrate.. Good? Bad?
We brought our 2017 pastel banana boi in late October. He has shed 3 times since then. The first shed was horrible. Little pieces of skin all over his enclosure and him. We followed the sticky for a humidity box and he was fine. The second shed was so-so. About half of his shed came off cleanly, the other half came off easily with a warm wet towel. The third shed was perfect.
I think the difference for us was learning to identify when he was first going into shed (when his belly turns slightly pink) and raising the humidity right then and there. It was hard to recognize at first, but once you spend some time with your BP, it's surprisingly easy to spot.
Good luck.

Just great, now I gotta start doing this. That's probably the best testing method ever! I wonder if I can get kicked out of a pet smart for trying it in the middle of an isle [emoji23]
