as above really, just a spot clean while his vision is impaired and don't do anything about humidity.........

his eyes will clear after a few days then he should shed within a week

you dont necessarily need to raise the humidity..most corns can shed just fine without it - mine all shed ok and iv not had to alter the humidity once,

Dont worry about cleaning out his tank at the moment, just remove any poo that he does but nothing more than that. If his eyes are cloudy then he will be partially blind and the disturbance will scare him.

Dont worry too much about upping the humidity...just put an extra water bowl in the warm side of his tank and mist it lightly once a day. That should be all you need to do. His eyes will go cloudy and his scales will dull...then it will all go back to normal as though he has shed, but he hasnt....he should then shed anywhere from 3 days to a week later.

When he has shed you need to check the shed skin to make sure that the eye caps and tail tip are there, and that it is a 'clean' shed...he has none retained on his new skin. If that happens use the search for advice and if you cant find the answers you want then ask.

He probably wont want to be handled during this time because of his vision not being clear, so is best left alone to avoid stress.
