Not shedding. :/

[Lena]

I don't understand why but my little guy doesn't seem to want to pull his shed off! He went through the entire night with the loose skin just hanging there. It's making it really difficult for him to climb.. You'd think he'd want to get it off asap!

Should I be concerned? Maybe even try and help him?

Some info about the enclosure -
It's a zilla fresh air terrarium (screen) 18 x 12 x 20.
Temps range from 70-80 during the day, 65-70 at night.
Humidity ranges from 30-60%.

Weird! How long has it been there without him pulling it off?

I would start pulling it off, you dont want it's shed to get stuck.
A lot of people have problems with the screen enclosures unless you live in a humid place.

I've determined that there just isn't enough humidity. Should've known better!

Anyway- The shed was there for about 2 days, I removed it and gave him a good soak today. Will be moving him to a more humid enclosure asap.

Yes the humidity needs to be from 60-80!

I have the same problem for humidity, but I just ordered the 18x18x24 exo terra because the mesh cages only work well if the place you live in has high humidity, so I'm hoping that will help.

Right now he's in a 20 gallon long on it's side, so it has the whole front as a screen which doesn't stay humid at all, last night I saran wrapped it haha until I get the other tank.

To keep humidity up, I use organic soil for substrate, and get a big clump of moss and soak it in water and ring it out.

He just shed for the first time with me a few days ago, and its usually at night when they are more active so I heavily mist and soak the moss before bed time.
