Humidity to help shedding

[kkrell]

Hi all!
It's getting to be shedding time again with my little guy (2 month old northern)
his last shed (and first shed with me) was very weird and piecey and i think he retained some on his eye (posted about it on here a little bit ago) as he's always rubbing it on things and closing it still so i was thinking i'd bump up his humidity while he's in shed to help him out this time. it usually reads 40% or just under and i misted pretty good last night when i noticed that he got very grey and about to shed- now humidity is at a whopping 80%
wondering if humidity that high is ok for him while he's shedding?
He's on cypress mulch

Variables are not bad. Humidity varies in the wild, too. Many times the humidity in my cages will reach 80 percent, almost always in summer. I've seen them soak in their water bowls preceding a shed also. High humidity with cooler temps may not be desirable though. It's very common for them to shed in pieces, just watch out for leftover shed on their toes.

Seconding what Splashy said.

You can provide a humid hide to help out as well. Pack a hiding spot with damp moss, and then you'll have to worry less about the humidity in the entire cage.

I house mine outside in summer, and the humidity here is only about 30 - 40% outside normally. I hose them down every morning when they get fresh water, and they shed fine.
