Original Post:
I recently got a trade in that looked good.
After having it for about 4 weeks it had a poor shed on her head that caused her to have some problems keeping her eyes open.
I put her in a damp moss setup for a day, then worked with the shed on the eyes for a bit.
Eventually it cleared up and she was looking good again.
She just shed again and is having the same issue.
I have her caged separately currently with a warm hide and a tupperware container filled with vermiculite to hold moisture.
She's been spending almost all her time in there.
I was assuming the first one was a lack of humidity, but this one has me confused.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
