    bp shedding odd

    well to start off humiidty is 70-80 as of now. gave him a sheeding stone. but his scales is still comming of flaky. instead of staying in his hide he's out roaming his cage, and i guess that means he's sliding up againest stuff to get it off, is there anything else i can do

    You can soak him in warm water(never above 80F) what's hot to your hand is scolding to a BP. You say your humidity is 70-80% as of now what was it during the time of shed? If there is any on his head make sure that comes off first and make sure the eye caps look ok. Also what are your temps looking like?
    Cheers!

    well humidity, is always 60 so during shed, i mist more, so its up, hot side is 89-91, cool is 79-82. i tried putting a little heater on the cool side but it raised temp to much. gave him a bath today, seemed to like it and crawled up my lap and explored a bit, he seems happy, i guess im just a worried parent, but read shedding sticky, and other people said it should come off as one big piece, yea, his head was first, its fine now
