    Re: My ball isn't shedding

    It's good that you are attentive to the buggers needs. Shows you are a good parent.
    I had an adult that took several weeks after the eyes cleard up. Not sure why and the next shed was 'normal'. I wouldn't stress.
    I always spray the lid of my tubs when they go blue and keep condensation on the lid until they shed. But everything seems normal and 60+% shouldn't be too low.
    Keep us posted.
    What morph is he/she? I'm guessing black pastel or cinny?

    I wouldn't worry. Shedding is something they do well on their own. It sounds like your humidity is high enough (maybe even a tad too high). Move on with your day, no need for concern.

    x3. Mine can take days after clearing from blue, even up to a week. Let mother nature take it's course. As far as humidity, do not lower the humidity. Shedding is half about being well hydrated and half about external humidity. I usually UP the humidity to 70%+ after mine go clear after blue. I keep humidity 50%-60% normally (non-shed).
