    Shedding in pieces

    My albino started shedding this morning and I've noticed it's all coming off in pieces even though my humidity has been at 70% through the stages. Should I wait a day before I soak her in a tub?

    I would give her a day to get it off by herself. If you have spaghum moss, you can't put some damp, in a hide to help with moisture and it gives them something else to rub against.

    If she still has some stuck shed after a couple of days, I'd try the damp pillow case trick before soaking her in a tub.
