Re: Please help! I have no idea what I am doing.
Thank you so much for your help! I went ahead and bought what you recommended. I switched from aspen to coconut husk recently in an effort to increase the humidity - so I am glad I did that! Thank you for being so kind and helpful! [mention]XpensiveWino [/mention]

Humidity is definitely a concern. I have done everything I can to bring it up, but the gauge I have stays between 40-50. I have heard that sometimes the gauge that I have can be inaccurate. If you have a suggestion for a better hygrometer, I would be grateful!

Their bellies will turn pink before a shed, and then they'll go in and out of blue before actually shedding. How long ago was that and did you check under all of his hides to see if he shed already? Sometimes you'll find them in a little ball against the inside of a hide. Also, are you covering the screen top to help with humidity?

Also, they shed on their own time...it's okay if they don't shed on a schedule :)

He hasn’t shed since I got him over a month ago. His belly turned pink a couple of weeks ago, but it went back to normal and nothing happened. The screen is covered. I’m hoping maybe he had just shed when I got him.
