i think my royal is going into shed, his colour has darkened alot in past 2 days, and he hasnt been as active, but havent had chance to check his eyes over.

i was just wondering as its a first experience i have had with shedding, i was wondering where i should put a moss hide in the viv? hot end/ cold end etc, at the moment he is spending alot of time in his cold end, here is a pic of my viv as it is now.







cheers

I normally put my moss box in the middle so it is in between the hot and cold end,

my humidity is recorded on a digital hygrometer set in centre of viv at around 60/70%, is that ok for him to shed etc?

Fine while shedding, maybe a bit high for normal conditions.
