so, my guy steve, has had his second shed. his first shed was so bad i literally completely shed him myself. this time, however, it appeared to be going perfectly. until he got about halfway through. he started having sections that wouldn't come off at all, and after 15 or so hours he got almost everything. this morning when i woke up i went to get him out of his hide to see his new skin and i noticed that he still had a complete piece going 2 inches up his tale. he acted like it wasn't even there. i barely tugged on it and it was like glued to his skin. there are pics in my profile of this. i brought his humidity up to 70-75% when he turned blue through the use of a wet towel on his cage and a larger water bowl, normally his humidity is 50-60%. what happened? i dont understand, its like he completely dried out and gave up just before he was finished. i keep perfect temps with probed devices and a gun. obviously i have soaked him since and removed everything. i even soaked him when he turned blue and when he went back to his normal color just before shed. i'm wondering if bathing is what caused the problem. i know humans have oils in their skin and hair and we wash those off when we shower.. but we use soap... and oil and water repel eachother... i'm so lost.

please help
