The hides im using are a giant hollow rock which I admit is too big for him but the other is half a log which is not too big for him. I've switched them around to see if that makes a difference but it doesn't.
So I am using a screen top. I put a towel over 3/4 of the top and have my light on the other quarter as well as a lot of space for air to get in haha.. I swear to God he shed everything but his head. I know thats not normal.
