Chance's 2ND shed

this will be the 2nd shed chance has had since I got him (got him late june) his 1st shed was BAD. I had to peel him , and remove his eye caps. he went into the "blue" aug 2nd. Last night I noticed his eyes are clear again. So when should I expect him to start shedding? I have been trying to keep his humid. 60% or above. he has been staying in his hide which is over the UTH (bad,good, doesnt matter??).I have moss in his hide,some of it sticks out so I mist it at least twice a day. I took him out tonight and soaked him for about 30 min.

any advice? In his cage I have cypress mulch

I would actually recommend not soaking prior to a shed. I only soak after a bad shed has happened. I would say probably within 2 days you will have a shed. Keep that humidity bumped up. Mine really sheds best between 65 and 70 percent. Although with the moss you should be fine at 60.

Hey Sherri~
Soaking so close to a shed will actually promote a bad shed. Keeping the humidity bumped and making it damp every day will do the trick. :gj:

You are learning~ that's all!!!! :D

He'll probably be fine as it looks like everything is set up well. And if he doesnt shed perfectly because of the soaking, well, its not the end of the world :P I'm sure you and chance will get the hang of shedding hehe

I got lucky!
