Hi all,

Boston is 5 months old now and had 3 sheds with us. First one came off in 2 pieces. Was using aspen bedding and a fine mist daily. Thought I would try to bring up the moisture a bit so added some moss in the corners to hold the water better. Humidity was usually 60, which I thought was pretty good for a large tank (16x38) UTH Temps holding at 90 with a herpstat and ambiant around 80. His 2nd shed actually got worse! Don't have a clue why! Since then I have changed his bedding to coconut fiber and and a humid hide for him to enter as needed. He doesn't like it and has since shed again in multiple pieces. Even had to run him through a wet towel to help him work the skin off. So my next action plan is to thoroughly spray the bedding every other day or so. But since then the humidity holds around 80 until I uncover the top for a day or so. I read the risks about keeping humidity high. But based on his bad sheds ... I think he needs it higher. Im totally not an expert at this. Just want to know if I am doing more harm them worse by holding a higher humidity. I just don't know how else to help his shedding issues. Thoughts?
