I have been skimming the forums and I have read up on this, but I have had my snake for almost 2 months now and he has looked like hes been shedding for about a month but he hasn't completely shed. His eyes are no longer foggy looking, but he has little pieces of skin coming off everywhere. I have still been feeding him, but I have not been holding him other than to put him in a box to feed him in and I am getting worried that he is not going to be friendly anymore. The last time I fed him, he lunged at the lamp when I put him away and again at the bedding. Does anyone know why he would do this if his eyes arent foggy? (although, he does not seem to be able to see very well, having missed the dead mouse that I fed him a couple of times) I have been spraying the moss in his cage to try to keep the humidity up but I cant seem to get it higher than 65%. Should I try putting him in the basement or something to raise the humidity?

He is about 7.5 months old, and I have him in a 20 gallon tank with a log type hiding area which he has stopped going in, and a branch type thing for him to climb on. I use an infrared lamp for heat which stays on 24/7 and a heating pad under the hiding spot. He seems healthy, but he used to be very friendly and I am getting worried that I will not be able to hold him anymore if he does not shed soon.

Thanks for your input,
Aaron
