He should have a hide on the warm and cool side. His humidity Probably is to low I'd check that. Lastly i would make sure the hot side is not to HOT. ( Also if you're humidity is to low try providing a humid hide.). If all is well, then maybe you just have "an odd ball" Pun intended.
He didn't seem to want out at all. The temperature was no where near hot, it was about two degrees warmer than where he usually hangs out. He only had bad sheds when I very first got him (he was a rescue)and I adjusted his humidity since then and he's shed perfectly every time since. I intentionally put a towel on the dry end of the bath (its like a small step) and he avoided it and just swam and swam and swam. He is kind of a dork.
