Changing Environment Too Quickly?

[Archimedes]

I would just leave him be until after he sheds-- no handling, no changing his substrate, just let him do his thing. Do your best to keep his humidity up until he's through, then you can give his tank a full clean and change out the substrate. I myself use the Eco-cypress mix and love it, so I hope you do too. It's much easier to maintain proper humidity levels. Remind me, do you have him in a tank or tub?

Edit: the Eco earth usually comes pretty moist if you get it in a bag, I find that's more than enough to start off your levels. If it's in brick form, it's a pain in the butt to separate, because you need to get it REALLY wet to get it to dissolve. Squeezing it out still leaves a lot of moisture, so if you can, I recommend finding a nice sizable bag.
