May want to try a water bowl large enough for him to actually soak in. My humidity isn't kept real high, and I don't remember ever having to mist a Dumerils to get them to shed properly. If you're not having any issues with your other Dumerils, it may just be something with that animal, though I wouldn't know what, if external parasites are ruled out. Good luck figuring it out. Take care
