This is what I do, & my Vincent sheds in one piece. Because I'm a neat freak, hate the mess of wood shreds and Vincent is an albino, his substrate are 3 black cotton cloths. He just looks amazing when he comes out upon them!!! One cloth damp throughly- rug out of water as best as I can wring it; placed atop the area where his under the tank heater pad is located. In the corner is his water. His heat emitter is atop the screened tank cover directly over the water dish. Within a day in a half, the damp cloth has already dried! I just take it out, make sure it's clean, wet it, wring it out damp then place it back. I alternate the cloths between washings. The other cloths are dry and placed in the remaining areas; one on the opposite side and the other atop both so he can feel securely hidden. I had stop doing this a couple months ago and he also got very dry- and he shed in pieces. He looked so unconfortable & I had to take him in the shower 2x to get the pieces off of him.
