Indeed! Love It When They Shed!

Keep Humidity High And Give Her A Nice Mist The Day She Turns Clear, That Should Give You A Nice Shed.

This Is What Works for Me But i Dont Know If it Will Work for Everyone Else of Maybe Nobody Else.

I Have My Adult Ball In A 40 Gal Screen Top Tank So What i Did Was Cover About 80% Of The Screen.




When In Shed i like To keep Humidity Really High For The Last Day Or So.



I Keep Humidity High By Misting The Glass And Not The Substrate As you could See in This Pic. The Hide Is Misplaced LOL!



I Posted Pics Because I Know A Pic Is Worth A Thousand Words LOL

Hope This Helps In Any Way it Can!

Magana, your tank looks a little sparse! Water bowls? Greenery?

Anyway, back on topic. You can mist if you need more humidity, but a lot of ppl find that long-term they just can't be there to mist several times a day. If you find yourself in this situation you can certainly try making a DIY humidifier; I did and it worked for me for a while, at least until I got a bigger tank and went the humid hide direction.
