| Raise the humidity quite a bit once the eyes start to go from cloudy to clear. A moss box or damp flannel. I'd be tempted to buy a hygrometer and get an idea of what the humidity is normally and gives you an idea of where you need to be for a good shed. |

| I would use a moss hide, the snake can get right in amongst the moss where a damp cloth will only really be on the belly. |

| i agree with gmac, only need a moss box, thats all ive ever done as soon as i see my corn go blue i put moss box in most of the time she will be in there within a day an stay there till she sheds, never had a need to check the humidity with a gauge the box has always done the trick |

| best place to get it is a garden centre - it's about a tenth of the price of branded stuff!! |

just sphagnum moss......it's usually damp or even wet when you buy it from a garden centre whereas branded reptile stuff is dried out (and in a miniscule bag!!)
if you do a search on this site there's instructions on how to prepare it before use, it's dead easy  |
