    Shed time...good humid hide?

    My BP's eyes turned blue and his skin is getting a dull color, so it's time for a shed. I put a humid hide in there, a taupeware thing with a lid for a hole for him to go into lined on the bottom with moist sphagnum moss. Here are pics, is it the right idea?

    right idea however he may or may not use it. since its transparent and he wont feel very safe or secluded in it.

    alternatively, you can just put some Moss in the warm hide

    I do mine pretty much the same way, except I use dark plastic.

    Krylon paints are non toxic when dry, just get a container like that(or that one), sand it a little, prime it and spray it black. Alternitively just put a few pieces of terrarium moss in the tank and mist it twice a day. Humidity should stay in the upper 60s if you have a setup that holds it in well.
