Good job, now maybe you can sleep tonight.

The moist rag probably raised the humidity making him more comfortable. I would get something to measure it with. They sell digi temp/humidity guages at Wal-Mart for like $15. Did he already shed? Oh yea and in the future you can adress the entire board, lol, there's alot of people on here that know a whole lot more than me

he didnt shed and i do have a humidity gauge,,its at 75 percent. i wonder why he didnt shed,,,maybe he doesnt need to?

its possible he didn't need to...are his eyes still blue, you could have been imagining things..I've done this before by just being over worried, they typically dont eat in shed as well so thats a sign that he doesn't need to what kind of guage are you using? if it's one of those t rex things throw it away! you can put two of those right next to each other and have a 40 percent difference in humidity
