    first time shed tips?

    so im dealing with my shed and i dont have the slightest clue what to do. i just noticed yesterday her eyes turned blue/gray. should i try and raise the humidity? should i give her baths? should i just leave her be? and how long should i wait to feed her after she sheds? i last tried feeding her monday with no luck. i was going to wait until next monday to try again

    Absolutely not there is absolutely NO NEED to raise humidity to 60 or 75% for a hognose.

    Hognose require low humidity, and do just fine at 20%-30% humidity including while shedding.

    OP do not go over 40% humidity.
