First Shed

[MacWin]

Wooo Hooo I just got home from work and looked in the cage and Nanner's had his first shed and it was a full complete one.
I was a little unsure of what to keep his humidity at being that he is a king and the care sheets don't really specify a solid number for humidity.

I am very happy with this because Bob had a bad shed 2 sheds ago and his last one was complete but I had to assist with a warm bath. I soaked Nanners about 3 times this week for about 10 minutes at a time and his humidity normally stays about 40% or so but this week I kept it at around 50 to 55 whereas Bob's I try to keep at least 50% up to around 70 when he is gonna shed.

So a good shed plus the awesome Zoo trip we had today makes today a good day indeed.

congrats on the perfect shed. i love king sheds, the pattern is so clear in the old skin. fyi, my cali king has had 3 perfect sheds in a row at 45% humidity. no soaking at all.

Yeah, I have never worried about humidity with my Kings, and they have been perfect every time. I keep them in glass aquariums with screen tops, even, and have never seen them soak.
