    Now my humidity is always 50-65% and 70-80 during shed. I used to have perfect sheds with the cage and now I getting poor sheds in a rack that holds humidity better!? This is boggling mind. This last she'd wasn't bad but still I'm pieces and a couple patches stuck on.

    Any thoughts? My temps are 78-90 and all humidity and temp readings are checked with multiple instruments to eliminate the possibility of false reading.

    Any thoughts?

    I'm thinking of a possible reason but before I say anything can I see a picture of the tub, with everything in it? That way I can rule out what I'm thinking.
