Shedding......I think

[daver676]

Hello All,

My ball is about 3 months old, and since I got him, I have had to assist feed him twice. Anyways, I think he is going into his first shed, but I'm not sure. His skin is very dull and wrinkly. Is he shedding?

Also, I have been having alot of trouble keeping the humidity up in his tank. It's usually only around 40% or so. He has a large water dish, and a humid hide, but I never see him in them. The enclosure is a 15 gallon fish tank with a screen lid, half covered with a towel (to try and keep humidity in). Substrate is newspaper covered with paper towels. Warm side 90, cool side 76-80. I do mist, but that only keeps the humidity up for like 20 minutes or so. What can I do? Try a different substrate?

Thanks

Dave
