    How Do I Fix a Bad Shed? Retained Eye Caps!

    Okay, the thing to do is keep humidity up. But what else can I do besides that? My humidity was and is 60%, as high as it would go with a wet cloth and a water dish in the enclosure. Couldn't get it much higher as have a glass enclosure with screen top. (The same procedure has worked well for two years.) Question-could it have been caused by handling when lotion was on hands? The shed was retained except for a few scattered pieces here and there and I had to take repti-shed and ease off the shed, paying close attention to tail tip and head. Now it seems that the eye caps were retained as well, because the surface looks crinkly on both sides. Am I going to have to wait until the next shed to remove them? I don't want to damage his eyes. I have repti-bark in the enclosure with jungle bedding mixed in. Heat is at 80 on UTH and 90-95 under light (yes, it is very drying), where he can move around and get different gradients, including a cool side which is mostly in the 70 degree range. In process of getting a Boaphile within a year for him.
