Full body stuck shed please help

[ed4281]

My 2010 male cinnamon just had the worst shed I have ever seen his whole skin is stuck. His humidity has been difficult to keep up, however it has been in the 60% range. It has been harder to keep the humidity up since I have had to keep the heat on. Will soaking work? Please give me advice I am a little freaked out for him.

Lynn did that last week. I took a tupperware style box and used a hot knife to cut a hole in the side a little bigger than her. Then I filled it with moss so it work kind of like a "humid hide". one night later there was a full complete shed just outside the box.

Description of setup would help, I'm sure people will have humidity tips for you.

Second, if it's full body, how do you know he's just not about to shed? If there is some of it off in pieces then you have a problem, but not huge.

I suggest drawing him a bath, with warm water just a little above room temp (I try for ambient tank temps, 80 degree water), and then put him in it. I also put in a clean cloth to add something to rub against, but it's not necessary.
Leave him in for 40min to an hour, then take him out and let him run through your hands, and try to gently (Gently gently) but firmly add pressure and see if you can help him get some off.

If he gets twitchy and stressed, just place him back in his enclosure and check on him the next day.
