    Another shedding question

    This is the first shed since I've got him. Right now he's going blue. Second day he's been in this stage and he looks blind as a bat lol. I have read on a couple of sites that soaking prior to shedding is likely to make things go awry. But, I've also read that soaking after the opaque stage (but before the skin shedding) will make things go easier. So my question: soak or not to soak?

    Oh, I have humidity between 60-70% right now. The reading currently says 66%

    Dont overthink it. If your humidity is ok then soaking is not needed.

    Dont soak. Keep humidity up and he will shed fine. You could also add damp moss to one of his hides and that helps as well.

    Don't soak, just up the humidity
