Can't recommend the humid hide enough. You can make your own or purchase a neat one from Pangea's website. My first shed was awful and I basically had to luke-warm soak, and do the towel trick for the entire shed. Then I took Bogertophis' advice, cut feeding while in blue and got a humid hide, and am now through our third complete shed. Having a humid hide took away probably 80% of the stress I had over my enclosure while I wait for my T10 to get here.
