    Question Humidity during shed

    Hello, I have a BP that I can tell is going into shed. His tummy is slightly pink and his colors are a bit faded. I'm wondering when would be the best time to increase the humidity in his tank. Should I increase it now or wait until his eyes turn milky blue?

    Thanks for your help

    I would increase it now. Get it up to 70-80 and try and keep it at that.

    I usually bump mine up whenever I notice the cycle starting, but I have waited until opaque before and the shed was still good. I just kind of figured that the extra days of higher humidity somehow helped the skin to separate...

    I usually just spray mist beyond the normal humidity levels once they are coming out of clouding phase. Couple times a day, sprits sprits and things turn out well

    Re: Humidity during shed

    Got my little guy coming out of the blue phase right now...Im misting his cage 2-3 daily. Humidity has been around 50-60%. Hard to get anything higher to hold out here in Az. It used to work just fine for my boa though...so we'll see how things turn out pretty soon.
