    Re: How often do BP's shed?

    You can cover a majority of the tank lid with foil to keep the humidity from escaping.

    Also to bump up the humidity for a few days you can soak a towel in water, get it really wet, ring it out just so it's not dripping, and lay it over the tank lid. The towel will be slow to dry and keep the humidity high.

    You need to be careful with this though cause wet towels can grow bad stuff, this is why I only suggest using it for a few days during shed. I know a guy who uses them all the time, but he's very vigilant, changing them out all the time to keep them clean.

    You're shooting for 50-60%, I only bump my tanks up higher if I see a bad shed. My bp does fine in the low 50% range.
