Thanks for replying. One other note, his shed is coming off in big pieces, not just one. I never let his humidity drop below 50-55%, but is usually near 60%. I just had no idea he was in shed, otherwise it would have been bumped to 70%. Completely missed the blues! Learning something new everyday with this lil guy!

I keep my "normal" humidityMINIMUM 55-60+ and 75+ during shed. When we spray the viv it goes upto 80 or so and then drops over three or four days to just below 60 when we spray again

I also do this.

When I first got mine, I found it hard to tell if he was going into shed or not. As you develop a bit more experience you'll notice the signs... and believe me the signs can be subtle.

As long as he shed okay, pooped and ate then you probably have a healthy snake right there

A good day, I'd say...

Trying this now. Works great, thanks! Cold, dry winter air is annoying. I can't wait until our warm, somewhat humid spring/summer...! \m/
