Which stage of the shed cycle is humidity most important?

If I could edit my original post I would. Maybe a mod should just delete.

Doesn't work that way AND I already gave a public warning.

People need to stop being so sensetive already its absolutly ridiculious how easily people get all bent out of shape today simply because they dont like the way someone says something.

Just curious, if you could only have high humidity for one stage of the shed cycle which would be most important in contributing to a clean shed -- pink belly, in the blue, clearing up?

I get what your asking, but given tone is almost never perceived correctly online, you have to at least understand how it could've been taken? However here is my answer: the more moisture the skin absorbs the easier it comes off and the better it stays together. no one stage is important over the other, but the best shed would be the one with the most moisture when it actually sheds. I mean if you take a snake and give it high humidity during the beginning and it starts to dry out coming up to the pealing part, that's not as good as humidity being high during the end. However if you only gave humidity at the end, the skin may not absorb as much moisture as it would of if you introduced the humidity previously. Its not really so much biology as it is just physical science.

That makes sense. I appreciate the response.

It's not the "stage". Nothing about the stage. As stated a few times previously, it's just about maintaining a high amount of humidity to assist with the clean shedding.

1) Have a good humidity range all the time.
2) When you see shed signs, up the humidity.
3) Hurray! A good (hopefully) shed.

I understood the question perfectly when I read it. Yes it is important to up the humidity during the entire shed. When my snake starts turning darker I up the humidity and keep it up during the shed. But I also use direct misting on my snake with Zilla Tropical Mist. But I do it during the blue stage or with my snake blue day and then I don't directly mist anymore after that till she has shed's. I found if I mist-ed after that the skin became too moist and broke apart. I had a snake where I had to remove the remainder of the skin. But by not misting after blue day the skin was moist enough to come off but dry enough it doesn't break apart. I haven't had a bad shed since I have done it this way. But I might add I hope your snake is as sweet nature d as mine. I personally think it was a very good question, especially if directed toward misting. Might help a few people who have bad sheds. I have used Zilla mist during non-sheds if the skin seems dry.

I find that most people read into text the way their behavior manifests itself. A sarcastic person by nature will likely read text and hear in their head a sarcastic undertone or inflection. Consequently a sweet person by nature probably doesn't take offense quite as easily, because they tend to see the good in people. I am probably as guilty of this as anybody. Also, many people don't have as good a grasp on grammar as others or are just kind of lazy when it comes to punctuation so again, things are misunderstood.

A perfect example is a T-shirt I once saw. It read;

Let's eat Grandma

Let's eat, Grandma

That's weird because something I posted a few days was pulled off the site quickly.

Would you like to discuss YOUR warning in public?
Reread the TOS first.

Personally it wouldn't matter to me if it was in public or not. The poster here said maybe a mod should take it down and now it seems that won't happen, why not if he asked for that?
