Hi
I got my RP last Saturday from the RSPCA and he started the shedding process immediately. Last night he spun round and round under his rock and shed his skin but it's in about 20 pieces and I can't find the all important eye scale piece.
I handled him just now and his eyes look bright but how can I be sure the eye scales are shed ?
Also , did the fact that the skin came off in so many pieces mean I had the temperature /humidity wrong for him ?
Thanks for any advice !

I've never had any stuck eye caps so can't really comment on that but just increase the humidity next time & it should come off fine. Also double check the temps when increasing the humidity.
