Quick update
Thankyou all for your suggestions, I have taken them all on board. I gave the viv a total clean, disinfected it throughout, bought some repti bark, and new digi thermometer and hydrometer. I have replaced the heat lamp with a normal simple low light. And placed it outside the viv in the centre. I have covered the top warm side of the viv with a purpose cut board of wood that fits snuggly. The humidity is now 80%, he is not having a very good shed at all, lots of small scales and still bit stuck on. The temp is 71.f
I must say I was petrified of picking him up, and did so quickly and placed him in a rub whilst I cleaned the viv out. When it was time for him to go back in, I just let him slither in on his accord, as when I opened the rub he looked a bit defensive. Which brings me to another question.. When is the beat time to pick him up? When he is in a ball? Or when he's out and exploring? His body language, tight s shape neck.. Does that mean leave him alone? I was going to put him in the bath today to help him with his shed, but thought maybe tomorrow, I'm sure he could feel me shaking haha!
All in all I feel he is doing quite well, and seems quite happy exploring his viv.
