Thanks, i never thought about having a screen top might not keep in any humidty at all. Thats good future knowldage. Though she did shed, i put her in 1-2cms of warm water in an ice cream pail and put her back in her tank, she stayed in their for a few mins then she crawled out, and what do i know, right when she came out she shed! She let me handle her right after with out being the crank she was the last few days. I think she was just irritated cause her skin wasnt coming off but all is well. I was scared i was gonna end up with a "stumpy". I picked her up with the arm of a pair of glasses cause it was hooked so she wouldnt strike at me. She didnt strike the hook thats good. I think she was just trying to tlel me she was cranky and to leave her alone, which probally was causing her more stress then giving her a 2 min bath thanks.
Btw i fed her right after she shed, the intial grabbing i missed, but i got the rest of it its a bit blurry so bare with me, my webcam is only so good!
Ill post it in a new message so everyone doesnt miss
