Hi, I already have a suitable tub and the moss put away ready for shedding time, he isn't even showing signs yet though, but I was just wondering in my faunarium (medium flat exo terra) when he is ready and I put the humid hide in shall I remove his warm and cool hides and just keep the humid hide in till he has finished shedding. If I put it in with both his normal hides in knowing snakey he won't bother using humid hide lol
Personally I would not use a humid hide yet. If I remember you have only just got him and he hasn't shed with you yet and unless you have a bad shed I wouldn't use the moss. All of mine shed fine without moss and I have never had to use it. I would just wait and see how the first one/two goes (sometimes the first shed with you may not be great due to the stress of moving home) and take it from there.
Yeah only got him on Saturday. Suppose it does make sense to see how his shed gets on first like you said. I'll do that then. When it's time shall I lightly spray his fuan or shall I just let him get on with it and see how it goes? Hopefully he'll shed alright. Seems a happy little snakey :) using both of his hides and coming out of them when it starts to get dark in my room to roam his faun :) can't wait to give him his first feed with me.
Again I wouldn't spray just leave him to it. If he does have a bad shed it is easily sorted out after so don't panic about it, there are lots of threads on here telling you what to do after a bad shed. Good to see you are prepared and have obviously been reading up prior to getting your little one.
