thanx for the info but i already knew that . shes surprisingly had two perfect sheds and i caught the blue eyes.this time i haven't yet, but this loose tummy skin and bueish head skin seems to be pointing t a shed very soon. she has good shedding stuff- a sharp rock, a sharp half log, and her corner hide, so i expect her to shed well, the only thing im worried about is having to raise the humidity and how it would affect her problems. btw, i got the hibiclens, so that is going on tonight

hibiclens should be a 1 to 1 with water and used on a q tip to the affected areas, right?, and should i get all up in her vent and get it all over in there?

I don't actually put as much hibiclens...but Richard said 50/50 so...yes, I would do 1 to 1...as long as it is diluted, you will be fine. I wouldn't go up into the vent...you might hurt her if you try to go inside...just put it on the infected area you see on the outside...maybe a little bit under the crease of the vent...but don't try to go inside of her.

put some hibiclens on her just now, but feel like a total *******. i ripped a bit of her outer layer on her tummy, the one that is supposed to shed soon while trying to apply hibiclens to the scale rot on there. her scales were really fragile so now im hoping they wont be misshaped or something
hopefully she will shed soon, because the entire tummy is actually off herself, just there. btw, should i apply hibiclens twice a day and mist her once a day, or not mist and risk a bad shed??????

Can you post a pic of this? What her tummy looks like?

I'm thinking if the shed is coming off that much..maybe you should just put her in a shed box. Steve? You out there?

I'd stop misting. Humidity will make the scale rot worse. If she has a hard time shedding, you can help her with it by getting the skin off. But, you only need to do that if she cn't do it herself.

her head skin doesn't seem loose, and doesn't she need some rough stuff to start the shed? if by Sunday she doesn't shed i will try to do something about it. ill put some more hibiclens on her later today, and im getting up early tomorrow so i could monitor her. her tummy looks fine, but it looks like her scales under her skin are still a bit fragile. ill try to leave it on her until she trys to get it off. and also when the area by her scale rot came off some of the black stuff came off, so yay, cause i think its helping.
thank you, david
on a side note, my crestie just had her first shed with me and it was perfect

[EasternGirl]

Usually yes...they need something in the enclosure that is rough to start the shed on...like a rough hide such as a log or coconut hide to rub against to get the shed started. Does she have anything like that in her enclosure?

Good news about your crestie!

It's surprising how little they need to shed successfully. They can manage with nothing in the tank but bedding or newspaper lining.
