Looking for a bit of advice on shedding. Syphon has shed twice since I got him in Dec. Both times he has shed in small pieces over a couple of days. The first time I figured his humidity wasn't high enough but the second time his tank temp is good and there's plenty of water, put extra dish on a heating mat.
Can anyone tell me how to solve this ? |

replace ALL the hides with damp ones ;) |

Thanks for the advice. I removed his cool hide and replaced it with a damp one but he then only uses his warm one. Certainly has a mind of his own. He's back eating but looks a little dehydrated now. |

Replace his normal hides with the damp hides when he goes into shed, then he'll have to use them. |

Yes but he won't go near it. Don't know what to do really. Took him into the bathroom and steamed him in plastic box. That worked but I'd rather have a solution that won't bother him or mean taking him out of the tank during his shed. |

Have you got a damp hide in for him when he's shedding? |
