    That's okay! I don't use Facebook either.

    OMNOMNOM. This is actually his third feeding, I gave him another pinky the next day (after his first), had taken all three once hot enough.

    First was freshly killed (oops) and heated up in front of a lamp.
    Second was live, held in front of a lamp very briefly, wasn't showing much interest before warming it.
    This one was F/T, thawed in hot water and also held in front of the lamp.

    😊👍

    Hmmm, apparently the humidity is off. Checked on him this morning and he has made no progress, just looks like a leathery string. Poor guy. I always kept it between 70 and 85, occasional bumps higher when I misted him. Is that too much?

    Not totally uncommon for bad sheds to happen. Especially if recent cage change. Also too much humidity? no such thing with an ATB haha Seriously though, humidity is tough, if there is too much air flow your initial readings can dry up really quick, not enough air flow can cause mold so it's a tough balance.

    I only mist when I see them going into shed but have naturally decent humidity in my area. Every once in a while I'll get a bad shed (mostly the one that has a screen top tank of course). I know a lot of people on this site say never soak but I've have had good results from soaking. What I do for an ATB is get a towel wet (or for a really little one, a bunch of moss), wring it out and put in a tub with the amazon over a heat pad and let sit for at least an hour. Then either put ATB back in cage and they get it off themselves or help hand shed them if they seem agreeable. If you don't want to go the soaking route, just keep misting, maybe dump the water bowl and hopefully he'll get it off.

    Okay, thank you. I'll bump the humidity up real high for a day or two and if that doesn't help I'll go the soaking route!
