Re: Crestie Shed Issues Normal?

Stuck shed on the toes is a sign of insufficient humidity. Try not to overthink it. The easiest thing to do would be to reduce airflow, dampen part of the substrate, and/or add a humid hide.
Very excessive humidity and wetness can cause shed issues in some cases, but that isn't what's happening here.

Thanks. I do tend to overthink things lol. I’ll work towards increasing humidity.

One more thing. The reason I have been hesitant to increase humidity is that he sneezes some when I have the humidity higher. Does that indicate something other than it being too humid?

I'm thinking I'll add a rock (or maybe rock-like) water dish that he could sit in if needed and possibly figure a way to put some plexiglass on the back end of the enclosure's mesh top to decrease air flow. Also I will look for a tall cork hollow to replace a bamboo one.
