    Re: Dirt in mouth during shed?

    She looks very dehydrated. Also, if this is the "4th or 5th" time she has gotten that much dirt stuck in her mouth, then switch to a different bedding. If she is a spider-type and has a wobble that could also make it hard to shed. Add some rocks or something for her to rub on other than the ground too.

    Humidity needs to be 65-70% during shed, and not less than 50-55% the rest of the time. You're risking infection if the dirt makes the gums bleed and such too - and mouth rot / gum infection can be difficult to treat as well. What is the exact set up? Temps, humidity, how are you measuring both, tank or tub, etc
    No cage is too large - nature is the best template - a snoot can't be booped too much
