    Not interested in shedding?

    Well my only bp Levi started the shedding process about 13 days ago everything went fine until now. Her eyes cleared up and I was waiting for her to shed. So 2 days go by and I check her tub and she had made the biggest poo I have ever seen lmao and beside that the shed on her head to the base of her neck (including her eye caps) so I cleaned her tub and left her alone. That was around 3 days ago and her still hasn't shed! She seems to have no interest in shedding, she looks all wrinkle-y and stuff. My temps are 92* on the hot side and 84* on the cool and the humidity is between 60%-70%. What should I do? Should I help her shed or leave her alone for a longer amount of time?
    Thanks!

    soak her in room temp water for 45 minutes to an hour in water that is only as deep as half her body thickness. make sure she can get air. after soaking take her out and let her crawl through a wet washcloth or towel and the shed should come right off. they have a good post on this that u should read

    How are you measuring your humidity? Sounds like a bad shed to me.

    Re: Not interested in shedding?

    I read the sticky thread about bad sheds is that what I should do? and I don't remember what brand it is but its one of those connected to a probe and with my thermometer I think its acu rite, and it says the humidity is 60%-70%.
