My Mali is going through his first shed, I gather from what I've read that they shed slowly in pieces. Should I raise the humidity slightly by putting a small dish of drinking water in with him for the next couple of weeks. I also gather that soaking is problematic for the tail, if the toes don't finish sheeding to keep them from constricting should I use some mineral oil which I have used for other problem sheds of lizards?
