Just had to share with people who I hope can appreciate my celebration:

My baby ball FINALLY shed on her own (in one piece) today with no assistance!!!!! Wohoo! In fact, I had her soak tub primed and ready to put her in. When she crawled on to my hand, see appeared to have a shiny new coat. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I immediately went searching for the evidence, and it was in her hide box!!!

A little background: Since I got her a few months ago she has had trouble having complete sheds. She usually had to be soaked and then assisted, of which she was always a sweet and loving participant. She really liked it.

Things have been looking up since I worked with some of the folks here on the forum that helped me adjust a few things. Not to sound like I’m on an award show -but - here are the things that helped us immensely.

1.) Got a thermostat to regulate UTH temps
2.) Changed the substrate to Coco Mulch (LOVE this stuff)
3.) Put a larger water bowl inside
4.) Used damp towels over the top of the cage



Thanks everyone!!!!
