how were u able to get the stuck shed off? we're always interested in methods that work.

also i think he will be fine in that half log for awhile. some BP's don't like the logs, but yours seem like it does. anyway it looks like he could pile 3-4 coils high in there still. even if he's too big, they like it snug. (lol some don't trade out hides until their BP's starting wearing them like "hats")

I didn't soak him, I just got a wash cloth and wet it with warm water and kind of bundled him in it like a pig in a blanket lol. Then after 10 or so minutes being wrapped up in the wash cloth on my lap, I started to gently rub down the stuck shed areas and it came off in large sections. At one point I was holding the shed with my finger and kinda slithered like he was shedding it himself. He was very patient with me and he was really good about it!

As for the log, I meant the long one on the cold side lol. There's an opening in the back on the left side in the pic and it mimics a cave. It's starting to get a little too tight for him so I may have to find a different cold hide area soon. Also, it has an opening on the right side that's like a skinny tunnel and I'm worried I'll find him stuck in there because he's such a fatty now! But yeah, the half log will last him another 8 or so months maybe until he's a yearling! He can still get 3 coils under there I covered the back opening with the vines that are bundled up so its dark in there. He actually kind of looked annoyed with them because he usually likes going through the back entrance
