    Bad Shed Question

    Yesterday my Bp escaped and when I found Him/Her under the tank He/She was definitely In shed the color was very dull and there were flakes of skin hanging my question is when I saw him/her today there was still some dead skin all over Him/Her I read the sticky thread on what to do If your Bp has a bad shed. before anyone asks I am having an issue with humidity it mostly ranges between 50-60% and sometimes 70-75% on the cold side using the wet towel method I've been reading on here during sheds 70% is ideal anyways my question is how long should I wait before soaking and wiping the dead skin off? Here's some pictures so you can see what I'm dealing with. The first picture was yesterday after I put him/her back in the tank the second picture is today. Thanks in advance for your input

    The only thing I'm worried about is Jeffree just ate Last night (shockingly being in shed didn't stop my little piggy from eating guess we have a lot in common lol) and it seems your not supposed to handle for a couple days after feeding does that change anything or should I go ahead and do it anyways? Also I don't have a container with a lid but I do have a mixing bowl that I use for thawing mice would that work?

    Mist in his hide or get moss. Moss in his hide will loosen it and will come off.
