hi there, just leave him be and he should shed ok for you, no need to do anything with temps;-)

does he have a moss box?

you can get sphagnum moss from B&Q or places like that, dont get it from a rep store, you will pay through the nose for it.....

this is a guide on how to prepare it for use

thaks so much 4 such a detailed instruction,this seems like a much better idea,should he have the moss all the time or just during shedding times,will it smell if its damp or does it just dry out,many thanks.
