So Mav went through the first signs of shedding where her skin went pale and her eyes went cloudy so i put in a tupperware box with a damp cloth to give her some humidity but she has just stayed in there for over a week now and not come out. Her eyes have been back to normal for the last 2 days and still she has not left a prezzie for me. Is leaving her in the damp environment bad for her health? I don't want to make her ill. Any advise would be greatly appreciated

prolonged high humidity can cause health problems but a week in a damp hide should be fine

She left a nice shed in her enclosure today and is now looking all pretty again. Thank you for all your help
