Shed troubles. Advice?
Well our GTP was in fact going to shed and he started last night. Unfortunatly it didn't go well. We are going to remove the rest of the skin today using the wet towel method.
What I am more curious about is why this happened? I don't want to patch the problem, I want to cure it.
Hot spot in cage: 88 down too about 78 on the cool end.
Humidity- I spray heavily around 10 am. This brings humidity up to about 80% for roughly 6-8 hours, then it starts dropping slowly before going down to 50% by the next morning when I go in to spray. When he was opaque I was spraying him three times as often. Didn't seem to help though...I always spray both him and the cage itself.
Food- Eating like a champ, never misses a meal
Any ideas? This is his second shed with us. The first was a few days after coming here and was about 80% perfect with just a few patches. This one about 50% came off and 50% is left in patches.
