Just an update on the new bp

I wasn't exactly sure of the shed timelines, but today his eyes were nice and clear. His eys were slightly blue when I brought him home, so I don't know exactly when he started shed.

I have two different humidity meters in the tank (one is just a stick on, and the other is part of the accurite). The Accurite is reading between the 40's and the 50s (the sensor is next to the substrate on the cool side). The stick on is closer to the top of the cage, and it's been reading between 60 and 85. I've been using a damp towel and some moss to keep humidity up. He also has a humid hide, but I haven't seen him use it yet. There's also a gallon water jub with an airstone in it in the room next to the cage to try and keep up the general humidity near the cage.

I'm not really sure which humdity sensor I should be going with.

Since his eyes were nice and clear, he got to hang out in the tub in some warm water for 30 minutes. He seemed quite happy to sit in the water for a while. I was thrilled that he was acutally outside his hide for a change

Some of the skin started to pull away (but not break off) and I put him back into his cage for a bit. A few hours later most of the shed had come off, except for a bit on his tail and a small piece on the very top of his head. I got most of the rest of it off, and put him back in some warm water to soak for 10 minutes. The rest of it came off quite nicely, and he was nice and active and seemed quite happy. I'm guessing his eyecaps slipped off without any help from me, but I'm really not sure.

How exactly do I tell if his eyecaps have been retained? His eyes aren't cloudy or anything, and it seemed like he could see just fine.

The cage temps are still too low, but they're a lot better. I'm going to do some more adjusting tomorrow. The human heat pad helped a lot, but it doesn't seem to be enough.

Also, he seems to like being held.
