How often do BP's shed?

[truthsdeceit]

i will probably try the towel tomorrow. i put a little longer piece of foil on the top, gonna see how it does for a day. what is a CHE? is that like an under tank heater? and as far as my night bulb, my black light, the humidity stays fine, but its when i use the day lamp is when i cant keep my humidity. i only have one water bowl in there right now, and its about 3/4 of the way directly under my light, but it really isnt doing any good.

A CHE is a ceramic heat emmitter, it's basically a bulb that gives off heat but no light.

Yeah the bowl under the light would be no good cause any evaporation would just get zapped by the light.

if I were you I'd run the black light all the time then, the other light really isn't necessary. Also you said earlier that the humidity is at 60%? If it is, I wouldn't go much higher than that.

As for the signs of going into shed, there is a very useful sticky at the top that has just about everything you would need to know about the shed process. If your bp looks "dry" I might actually be concerned. Their skin should look dull and their eyecaps blue, but not necessarily dry.

Yeah! just run the night bulb all the time. the other bulb isn't necessary. BP's don't need the 'suns' rays since they're not active during the day. The do need a light dark cycle so if you switch to using just the night bulb be sure to turn on the rooms lights during the day and off at night.
