Two sheds within two weeks?

[killimike]

One of my vittatus shed about two weeks ago, and seemed fine, tho he had a bit of retained shed on his toes. He really hated me grabbing him and pulling at his feet, and I was worried I would snap a toe or something, so I was only doing a little bit at a time, and keeping the humidity high.

Two nights ago I looked in on the gex, and thought, crap that male is looking like he's gonna shed again.. and sure enough this morning he has. Must be his feet were bothering him?

I have seen threads about snakes shedding repeatedly in a short time, geckos too apparently

Sometimes humidity too high can cause excess shedding, either that or he's growing very quickly.

Ah ok, I had no idea that high humidity could do that Chris, and I have been keeping it high. They are now on 50:50 coco peat and sand. I will drop the spraying back a bit. He isn't growing much, his girlfriend is a food hog. She hasn't shed again yet.
