hi Capt Neg,

welcome to BP keeping. i would guess the humidity jumped b/c u turned off the heat lamp (which heats and dries the air/surfaces). also 70% humidity is actually good for shedding. BTW how big is the enclosure? if it was built for a Beardie, i would imagine it could be quite large for a baby BP. anyway your temps are too hot. i would lower it 10degrees on each side. i prefer to use belly heat for my BP's provided by heat tape/heat mat and regulated by a thermostat. lastly i wouldn't bathe a BP to help it shed. u are just washing away its natural oils to that helps it shed and drying it out instead. humidity is key for good sheds.
