I'm a new owner as well, but I've read that most BPs are pretty shy, and handling them too much can stress them out, its not entirely true though especially with mine, he's obsessed with being out of his enclosure, I can't open it to change that water or anythinf without him trying to wrap around my hand to get me to take him out xD but if he's having shedding issues yeah humidity might need bumped up higher, and make sure to keep fresh water for him
