So, Eden has shed twice with me now. The first was a whole lot of tiny flaky pieces everywhere which is when I learned as a new owner you have to watch humidity. The second came off as one big sleeve (yay!) EXCEPT her head(boo). I had to assist her with a warm wash cloth as several days later she was still stuck. Cleopatra shed in pieces the first time as well but I consistently misted and soaked her this time. Her shed did not come in a roll but more like several large and long pieces.

Here is cage info:

Eden is in a hand-made wooden cage. It's ventilated on both sides with two small mesh windows and the lid is the same. She has aspen shavings for bedding and I mist her every day/other day. She has a log hide on her warm side and branches on the cool side.
On a side note, I did a full scale clean today as I usually do when its feeding day. I came upon mold under her bedding(not good!!!)and I'm curious as to what caused it?

Cleopatra is in a Exo-Terra with Aspen shavings. Same misting schedule. She has much more room therefore has more hide options than Eden. No mold was found in her cage, which is glass for the record.

What am I doing wrong here? I have no trouble feeding f/t. No troubles keeping everything clean aside from the recent mold. I mist daily during shed cycles and soak every other and I still get pieces!!

My top questions:

1) Would putting Eden in a glass terrarium such as a Zilla help?
2) Does the fact that Cleo has a glass cage mean she retains more humidity?
3) How would having Aspen effect the husbandry? I've heard of mixing Eco Earth with Aspen to help with moisture. I have a large amount of unused Aspen so I'd really like to keep it in the picture.

Thanks for any help Constructive criticism is appreciated.
