Well, I changed out the substrate, wetted it down every two weeks, and presto! A perfect shed 2 days ago! No soaking or humid moss box needed! I actually am using a combination of one part sphagnum moss potting soil and one part coconut husk fiber mixed with two parts washed play sand. It looks great, my boas aren't dusty, and it holds their burrows. Thought I'd share...
